The Religious Right has become powerful enough within the Republican Party that it can have only one possible partner: the Corporate Right. The GOP has been steadily losing moderates, and it's only a matter of time that people like Specter, Lugar, McCain, and Voinovich join the likes of John Warner and Lincoln Chaffee in the political past and are replaced by Democrats. How long will it be before Collins, Snowe, and perhaps Murkowski drift away from the GOP?
It's one thing to bring enthusiasm to the Base, but another thing to offend the political middle, people who don't have strong partisan convictions.
