Bush factored out all of this "base" based on their pattern of taking their ball and going home over the last 4 election cycles. He doesn't need them and he sure doesn't owe them a thing.

I think so too. This "paleo" crowd here are really the Perotistas. They're blue collar democrats who've been forced out of that party by the identity groups, secularists, feminist abortionists, anti industry envirowhacks and the gay/lesbian tong. They want DESPERATELY to be old Rostenkowski/Dingell protectionist union democrats, but the Democrat party doesn't want them. I'll bet many haven't voted GOP since Reagan in 84.
