Your mistake is confusing polling data for an electoral strategy. You are arrogantly assuming your base will automatically turn out for you. Not necessarily. They did not turn out for Repbos in 2006.

Elections are not won in opinions polls, they are won in the Electoral College. Being popular in an opinion poll 8 months before an election does not necessarily translate into winning enough state to win a National Election

the GOP really didn’t have a strategy in 2006. they thought they could just spend $ on pork and that would be the ticket to victory
McCain will probably come up with a national agenda, like the contract with america. Balance the budget, overhaul the tax code, reform entitlements. Those are big things conservatives want.
