I thought (as a Republican) the same way Powell did. And yes, I too think the GOP is embracing so far to the right they have become intolerant of and disinfranchising to 35-40% of their party membership (the end result being McCain has lost this election)

We don't "call" ourselves Republicans, we ARE Republicans <g> Yes, the running mate was the start of the end for McCain (whom I had intended to vote for), I think. Looking back over the past couple of months, though, Palin's obvious incompetence turns out to be just a small part of the ultimate turn-off.

i read that the majority here is 'center-right'. still mostly centrists, and a lot of folks who got voted into congress two years ago ran as centrists, and that's why they got in.
hasn't helped much as yet tho.

I try to look at all the professional pollsters (msnbc has always disagreed with the other polls, btw, sole outlier). Example Rasmussen today: "daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Thursday shows Barack Obama attracting 52% of the vote while John McCain earns 45%. That seven-point lead is Obama's largest in nearly two weeks." and has been a steady lead for past seven.
