if the republicans had managed to shut their nutjobs up for a while I suspect a lot more dwellars would have voted Romney.
I suspect there are probably just as many conservatives here as there ever were, it's just that the republican party has become so characterised by its lunatic fringe that ordinary sensible conservatives no longer feel they can support them.
From what I have seen on news coverage and current affairs programmes, the majority of Americans seem to be fiscal conservatives and social liberals. And by fiscal conservatives I don't mean the neo-con hand it all to super corporations brand. This is simply not reflected by the party which would historically have most represented their views.
