Double post, whatever.
I wanted to note that I suspect that if Rudy were the GOP guy, then the party will pick up votes from social liberals who want lower taxes and less government expansion than I suspect we're going to get in the next two years. So I'm not saying that without pandering to evangelicals the GOP will lose.
I don't know. I just think the GOP will face the same kind of internal issues that the Democrats will. Dems issue: netroots/moveon left vs. center. GOP issue: evangelical right vs. center.
I think that if both parties go toward the center, the GOP runs more of a risk of alienating a core group. (But maybe they'll throw some provocative initiates on the state ballots in fall of 2008 to get them to the polls.)
