Reply #30: The GOP's got real problems and it's getting worse as time goes

bye. If Bush attacks Iran you can put up a tombstone for the Republican Party. They'll never recover. Conservatism will have to come back under a new name like Libertarian or whatever. Most likely it will split off a Conservative Christian party of some kind.

I think your scenario is pretty much spot on. Foghorn will drop out as his support fades. He's a lazy man fighting a losing cause. He'll quit the first time the going gets tough.

Rudy and Mitt seem to be the eventual GOP nominees. Two blue state Republicans on the ticket isn't going to get the deliverance wing out on election day.

Bloomberg might be the anti Rudy/Mitt candidate for a lot of dissatisfied Republicans. He might even get more popular votes than Rudy/Mitt but he won't finish any higher than second.

Hilliary will likely beat out Obama for the nomination and despite all the people who swear they won't vote for her they'll show up on election day. Her VP will either be Edwards or Richards.
