I know it will not be popular with the stalwarts of this forum, but it is the only long term salvation of the "reasonable" wing of the GOP.  A center right party would be dead meat in the short term but if they finally position themselves politically where the voters are they will be successful in the long term and maybe even attract some "moderates" like me who used to vote with some regularity with the GOP, before they were hijacked by the nut crowd, to do so again, especially if the left extreme is as successful at moving the Democrats away from the reasonable center the way the T party has moved the GOP to the paranoid right.
