the true believers wanted Fred Thompson as far as i can tell -- nm - pigby Nov 7, 10:31 1
- and it kept shifting, when Fred flamed out, they went to Rudy (who they used to consider the devil) and when he tubed they went to Romney -- nm - crash davis Nov 7, 10:33
I'm taking that you don't listen to right wing radio much do you? -- nm - crash davis Nov 7, 10:30 13
- Does right wing radio respresent the GOP? - ty97 Nov 7, 10:32 10
  - they drive the debate and frame the issues more than any other group in the party - pigby Nov 7, 10:34 1
    - but they didn't get their 1st, 2nd, or 3rd choice candidate on the ticket. That's telling, to me. -- nm - ty97 Nov 7, 10:36
  - I made the point yesterday that it doesn't. But the phrase pixie used was talking about a more specific group. -- nm - crash davis Nov 7, 10:34
  - exactly. I think that segment of the GOP has shrunk since 2004. -- nm - loosilu Nov 7, 10:34 6
    - but I think they won't go away... - Mel Profit Nov 7, 10:36 1
      - Hmmm. But I don't think Reagan Republicans are the same as the current religious right. -- nm - loosilu Nov 7, 10:36
    - I'm pondering the possibility. I have no data to back it up. And the listenership will get a boost with a Dem POTUS and Congress, for sure -- nm - ty97 Nov 7, 10:35 3
      - the data you can use is the specific voting breakdowns, and I think you'll find that that group has less of a defection rate than the others. -- nm - crash davis Nov 7, 10:36
      - I think the core is probably still there but the fluffy coating is long gone. -- nm - loosilu Nov 7, 10:36 1
        
        mmm..fluffy... -- nm - znufrii Nov 7, 10:36
- no, I try to limit my daily dose of masochism. -- nm - loosilu Nov 7, 10:31 1
  - Well they hated the McCain nomination and Wednesday they threw him under the bus. They wanted anyone but him. -- nm - crash davis Nov 7, 10:32
