Essentially 20% to 30% of the Republican electorate has been effectively disenfranchised by the machinations of the GOP and the MSM.
You are right. The GOP cannot win in NOv. 2008 with this demographic. At best they could have 52-55% of the popular vote WITH the conservative wing of the GOP. Without it the best the GOP can hope for is maybe 42% of the popular vote. Even with skillful electoral college wins, it will be impossible for the GOP to win.
All the Dems need to do is nominate a warm body.
Welcome to 4 years of hell.
Thats the way the cookie has crumbled.
Conservative Republicans are very angry at this point.
And FR has fallen starngely, relatively silent.
Scarey stuff!
Actually they might do better with a cold one. Jack Kennedy, Harry Truman, Scoop Jackson, even Hubert Humphrey would be better than the breathing crop. Better dead than red.
