Yeah 1000 "adults". Give me a break. The "base" has made itself irrelevant in presidential politics staring in 1992 with Perot, in 1996 with Perot again and staying at home and in 2000 with PJB and staying at home to the tune of 4 million” true conservatives". Bush may lose this election but he will either lose it or win it without the "base" because once again the "base" is acting as an opposition party. Win or lose, the "base" loses big time.

I understand that you don't like or appreciate "the base," nor do you find them relevant. I get that.
It seems to me that the base was liked and appreciated and relevant in 2000. Has the tent become smaller?

The base lost big in 1976 and we got one of the worst presidents ever, but the base came back won big in 1980 with one of the greatest presidents ever.
