One sentence from the second column is critical: "The Republican party cannot hold its current majority without this increasingly powerful caucus. The party can continue to adapt and prevail, or splinter and lose."
Even the most basic electoral math makes it clear. A disaffected "South Park Republican" irked at the party enough to not vote for it is far more likely to vote for a Dumocrat than an aggravated "cultural conservative". If he does, that's a two vote swing instead of merely one vote.

I have friends who voted less than enthusiastically for Bush in 2000. They don't have the same visceral disgust I do at the thought of voting for a Dim, some even voted for :spit: Sinky.

I'm pretty sure that might be the case for some "South Park Republicans", but the majority of them would tend to find a better thing to do on election day than vote.

The thing is, there are a LOT more "South Park Republicans" than there are paleo-cons, and I have to wonder if the GOP is not starting to pick up on that. I mean, under this Republican Administration, Howard has has ZERO hassles from the FCC. Who'd've thought that would happen? :)
