OK..........

This is not Bush's fault.....

It is very rare, in fact unprecedented, that a nominee withdraw without a nanny gate or something in the record.

They tried to save her some face with the BS about the information requests. That info was apparently never requested.

I think it was the AD run yesterday that was the straw that broke the back.

She just could not take the pounding and I don't blame her.

The right wing portion of the base is not that big. We could cut all of you loose and replace you with moderate dems, and that may well occur....(Watch McCain, who has already started, and the others as they begin their campaigns)

You may find yourself making a difficult decision as to where you stay. I have a serious problem with McCain but others may be more to my liking, but they will not be as Conservative as you profess to be. They will be moderate repubs that you have already demonstrated your disdain for.

There will be no CONSERVATIVE republican to vote for after the primaries, and that is where we differ. You think you can change th face of the political landscape.

So does Rush!

I say you cannot. I say you have to deal with the cards you get, and that you cannot create a base large enough to win a national election without compromising a great deal.

But if you think you can! Knock yourselves out!

I will be watchin the show.....

Thirty three other nominations have failed - that is almost one per president.

This is not rare and far from unprecedented - in fact, it's pretty common.

Stop.

Your argument is flawed, go no further.

Maybe we are just using different terms. What do you consider "Right Wing" and what do you consider "the base"?
