Why should the Republicans even bother to court them if they are going to be such an undependable voting block?

That question doesn't make any sense. Why would they ever try to "court" someone who they know is already going to vote for them no matter what? It's precisely the undependables that need courting.

That's just the thing, the CP and LP guys aren't the ones that are going to vote R no matter what ('broken glass' Republicans). They haven't been for 20 years. Trying to get them back seems to fit in the category of "fighting yesterday's war".

Moderates who can't stand the far left seem to be a much more solid base from their viewpoint. In light of this, it would appear that we shouldn't be suprized when the moderates are the people to whom RNC decides to kow-tow.

Threatening to leave isn't much of a threat to the party leadership since these people were never there to begin with. It is our job to convince them that we are valuable. It is pretty late in this election cycle to try for such a sea change, though.
