Agree with your post. The key point I made earlier is simple. Independents are a key to power. They are the swing votes. So a party that wants to be in power has to figure out how to make the tent big enough to entice Independents. The question the GOP needs to ask is whether they can win over Independents by simply vilifying the Dems, or will the GOP actually have to soften their policies a bit to appeal more to centrists. I think the level of government disgust is now so high, precisely because both parties (first Bush and now Obama) have been unwilling to govern with fiscal conservatism in mind. So I don't think the current GOP strategy of obstructionism and Dem vilification is going to be enough to regain power. Ultimately, they are going to have to move back to center-right and start voting for some of the things they themselves suggested when they were in power. I don't think Americans are fooled when the GOP was for something when they were in power and against it when the Dems are in power. At least, I'm not.
