The ultra right wing of the Republican party is in a state of complete denial. They are claiming McCain lost because he was not conservative enough. Therefore, he lost their vote. This sounds to me like the child who has the ball, but only wants to play the game they want to play. If they do not get their way, the go home. For the past years, many of the middle of the road voters held their nose and voted for their candidates. Many qualified Republicans refused to run because of the pro-life, social conservative nonsense being espoused by the party. The ultra conservative Bush gets elected and he is dumber than dirt. The economy collapses and the ultra conservatives simply can not believe people are more concerned about their jobs or potential lack of one, than their agenda. This beatdown was a long time in coming and it is going to continue. Tony Blair went right after the middle of the road voter and you have not seen a conservative government in England since. McCain wanted to pick Lieberman, but could not. Instead he picked someone who could see Russia from her house.
