Republicans (and those who typically have been attracted to that party) are very dissapointed by the tensions brought out by the Bush presidency and the McCain campaign. Intellectual conservatives are horrified by Sarah Palin, libertarians can't stand Bush's big government (and don't think McCain will be much better), and social conservaties are turned off by McCain's softness on some social issues. The first article argues that the Repbulicans need to crash and burn this election, the second article is more articulate.
