That'll bring the racist moron sheep back to the fold. No worries, all they have to do is joke about shooting the first black nominee of a major party.

The problem is we saw McCain moving right to gain the nomination, and in so doing, he allied himself with the least popular president of the last 100 years, he tarnished his straight-talk/independent persona, and he left himself open for the same flip flop argument that scuttled Kerry. It would require an almost unprecedented flop on the part of Obama to lose....

They screwed the Religious Right over after using them for votes in 2000 and 2004, possibly leading some factions in that voter block to stay home in November. Like you say, they need to move to the center ASAP, or else they will endure a beating the likes of which they haven't seen since Watergate. Yeah, the GOP is in a bit of a bind.
