If what you say happens, the GOP will never figure out what caused antoher defeat. They will say that Bush ran too much as a "conservative" and did not appeal sufficiently to "moderates." The GOP then will either renominate G.W. on a "more moderate" platform for 2008 for a third run, or it will field Jeb. There will be no shortage of Bush candidacies in 2008, I would imagine.

If (God forbid) the worst happens and 1992 repeats itself in 2004, the Bush family will be finished in major national politics. I doubt that even the modern Republican party would be stupid enough to travel down the same dead-end road a third time.

You don't have to imagine anything. History repeats itself. This has been the way of the Republicans for the last 40 years and it won't change because the liberals did a good job of infiltrating and carrying the whole thing left so far that in many ways John Kennedy was to the conservative side of where we are today.
