Yep, but see zenmasterfoo the problem is that the message the Rs carry forward into the next election will not be determined by people like you or other independents who might lean to the right, but by people who are actually involved with the party.
And at this point what's left, in terms of card-carrying Republicans, are the hardcore true believers like Limbaugh, Palin and Bachman. And they are going to be the people most resistant to changing the GOP in ways that could make it more appealing to people in the center. That's why I think a third party could have a serious shot at it next time. Because by marginalizing themselves so much, the Republicans are leaving out a lot of people who are going to want to be heard.
- I disagree. Obama got elected by disenfranchised voters, many numbering the millions with no party affiliationzenmasterfoo
