There's no easy way to put this delicately, MM, but the majority of the electorate is not now and never really was as far to the right as you are. The more doctrinaire rightwing Republican nominees fell off pretty quickly in their own party primaries. The general political center is somewhere between Obama and McCain. One of them will probably get a small but respectable majority in November. The Congress will be more Democratic, almost inevitably based on the polls now. I'm sorry you are worried and afraid. I see the next presidency being much closer to the center than the Bush-Cheney-Rove approach, which I deem good for us. I think the next 4-8 years will be very rough for people in your political group. But keep two things in mind - the Bush-Cheney-Rove approach failed to build a popular majority based on its positions, and the way they governed turned off something like 70% of the people in the country. They took your hopes and trashed them. My sympathies. But I won't regret seeing their whole mess in the rearview mirror.
