Here is the problem the Republican Party will continue to face:
Quote:
A group of prominent conservatives will meet tomorrow at the Virginia weekend home of Brent Bozell to discuss the future of the movement and the GOP.
Bozell, chairman of the conservative watchdog group, the Media Research Center, is convening the group...
...on the agenda will be the role of conservatives in the party, how to go forward in a capital dominated by Democrats and ultimately what path to take to recapture power in the mid-term elections and beyond....
....other conservatives attending the private session will be: Leonard Leo, executive vice preident of the conservative Federalist Society, and a leading figure in the movement on judicial and Catholic issues; Grover Norquist, the anti-tax crusader who heads Americans for Tax Reform; and Tony Perkins, head of the Family Research Center and one of the most high-profile social conservatives

These guys reprsesent the most extreme of the extemisits on the right.
If the Republican party lets Bozell, Grover Norquist and Tony Perkins set their agenda...it may appeal to the base, but who will it attract beyond that?
They never cease to amaze me with the narrow focus and "small tent" appeal that they believe is the path to victory.
