Riddle me this: was this a change imposed upon Wisconsin, even influenced on a national level...or organic, rooted in the state? The states influence the national party, not the other way around.

Look at Florida. It's happening and the states (voters) are going to take it to the national level.

Exactly...but that's fundamentally different than what you said here:

But we’re dealing with POLITICIANS for the most part in the GOP. The Left is composed of die-hard ideologues and why we need a natural conservative ideologue (Palin has it from head to toe) to head the party.

The house cleaning will follow. Some districts will be harder to scrub down.

Influence flows upward, not downward...the national GOP does not help. It can just get out of the way of state reform; it cannot cause it.
