RE: RE: The (Republican) party's over
I think V. Day places too much weight on how one is registered...
In this context, it is warranted. If people stop registering as Republicans, the party will die. If people begin registering as Libertarians or Constitution Party, those parties will gain the mainstream as the GOP withers on the vine. That's what happened at the birth of the Republican Party. People left the Whigs in droves and the party died. The number of people who will remain registered as Republicans but who do not vote that way are a minority.
And yes, if the GOP insists on nominating Giuliani, Romney, or McCain, Hillary will be the next President. In fact, since the GOP field is so fractured, it is unlikely that anyone, including Fred Thompson, will emerge who can unify those factions. Short of some huge faux pas on her part, the Beast in Pants Suits is all but assured of the Oval Office.
