The GOP conundrum: win the base, lose the rest of America



| Reddit | Tumblr | Digg | FARK

The inside-the-beltway publication The Hill had this to say about Katherine Harris' bid for the US Senate:

While the congresswoman, now in her second term, outpolls all other possible Republican contenders in a potential primary contest, she also performs the worst among the same Republicans in a match-up against Nelson, according to polls.
Did you get that? Harris has the best chance of winning the Republican primary and the least chance of winning the election. I.e., the GOP base loves her and the rest of Florida, the majority of Florida, loathes her, or at the very least likes her the least of any candidate.

That's because the Republican party base is being increasingly taken over by a fringe minority of wingnuts (who usually subscribe to a fringe religion) who don't represent real Americans, and real America knows it.
