Convince me that "moderates" make up the majority of the Republican
Party.
Before this last election, there were quite a few moderate Republicans.
Unfortunately, many of them lost. The end result is the Republican Party
is now further to the right. You will probably disagree with me on this,
but I'm hoping for a strong moderate Republican rebirth. A two party
system needs two strong parties. It helps keep corruption at bay, and
the bashing about of competing ideas is an overall plus.
The religious fundies, however, can pound sand.
I was about to respond to Harry, but you said it better.
This election was not typical. Too many extreme factors ... disgust with
Bush, the War and then the economic meltdown starting September 15th. Add
to them the Palin factor and it was over.
I agree that many moderate Republicans voted for Obama this time around. I
also believe that once the GOP gets reorganized, it will make a strong
comeback in future elections.

Reorganized as what, and by whom?
