This is a very interesting time for the Republicans. The Neo-conservatives have destroyed the parties credibility. Which faction has values which appeal across the center of the electorate? The religious right are always organized but that is their only appeal. The libertarian wing is inconsistant on the social issues which have broader appeal than the free market message especially in a down-turn. The money crowd had their run and managed to smear the free marketers in their recent crime wave. Right now, their best shot may be the moderates. People will tire of the Pelosi crowd, so there is an opportunity a few years out.
