Reply #18: They will blame McCain

[TheBigotBasher]

and his "compromise wing" will be booted out. The reality is McCain is a maverick to the extent that he does not fit in. He is not an economic Republican of the likes of Reagan, nor is he a God botherer of the likes of Huckabee. He is hated by both wings just as much, but marginally less than they hate each other wing.

The Republicans will tear each other apart after defeat in November. The economic Republicans want nothing to do with the likes of Bush and Palin is just a shameful embarrassment.

Unless the Republicans decide what way they want to go, they look set to be easily out of power for at least two full term Presidencies, if not longer (even if they do take a term they will only do so on a Democratic agenda). As UK Conservatives learnt in 1997, people do not like losing their homes.
