GOP activists never needed to be alienated from Fred. They'd chosen their candidates long ago, so he's just another opponent to them.
As far as 'social conservatives' are concerned, there are many of us who are supportive of Fred. Some are supportive of Mitt, some, of Duncan, and some, of Huckabee. We'll see how it all shakes out come Primary time, but the 'social conservatives' don't seem to be lining up with the 'GOP activists', who seem to have moved to Giuliani's camp early on.
These so called activists are blue blood Country Club elitist liberals... the likes of Rockefeller and Specter.
