When Democrats are trying to tie John McCain to Bush you know it’s bad. Bush has failed miserably to shape opinion in his second term.

doesn't matter.
Fact is, negative politics never work, and they are just filling up the dead air of their non message with that drivel.

The problem is that Republican voters are basically fed up with the GOP at this time.

The immigration bills should have been a wake up call for the RNC, but the RNC is apparently now driven by an agenda and the actual outcome of a few elections is less than relevant to them, since the new - and clear as a bell - leftward rush of the GOP elite K street boys is not going to be harmed by the dems winning a few elections.

When an agenda is being pursued, that agenda's aims trump mere elections. - and this is why it has trumped Conservatives by nominating a McCain; a party maverick to be the new standard bearer for the GOP!

This is made apparent when you ask the question: Why aren't they understanding why they are getting far less support, votes, and money?

Because they are pursuing an agenda.

Or so they believe. - They simply do not believe that the exact same thing that happened to the Whigs may very well be happening right now as we write.

And that demise was, as all should note, over one issue.

Will they ever change? - I do not know.
Is it too late? - I do not know.

Thank you for your interesting points. - bill

As far as that I’d just say natural cause and effect. Had Bush been wildly popular Romney would’ve been nominated.

You’re welcome. I still view McCain as a logical conclusion. Had we nominated Romney or Huckabee we’d be down double digits at this point. Thankfully McCain is keeping it close nationally and in key swing states. I’m still hopeful because we’ve yet to hit Obama over a single piece of his far left voting past.
