The GOP has always been a clan of loyalists who stick together so there is little use in trying to pry votes away from them. My late grandmother was an old line Republican, tighter than bark on a tree limb and always venting her disgust on leftwingers no matter whether their intentions were honorable than not.
When Kruschev was here visiting our farmland, a grand tour to bad mouth our success rate with capitalistic ventures he just happened to pay a visit near my grandmother's holdings and was upset with his constant boasts how the Soviet would eventually bury America. So, i posed this question to he, "If Christ was running on the Dem ticket and Kruschev on the Republican ticket for whom would you vote?" and she replied with little hesitation, "Well, for the Republican, of course". AND she meant exactly what she said.
In that respect things have not changed. But it's a positive they cling to come hell or high water. And loyalty, to me, is essential in all of our endeavors. That is the reason failure in the case of Mitt making the run is imminent. While he'll carry every vote from statitical areas that tend to lean right I doubt he can sell himself to the fence riders or unaffiliated voters to capture the big prise.
