What do you think is the ideological make up of the GOP?
How many GOPers are in the fundamentalist base? 30%? 80%?

How many GOPers are actually "moderate" (like Olympia Snowe)? 10%? 3%?

What do you think? What kinds of people make up the GOP?

(Use any categories you want, but split them up percentage-wise)

2. Strictly as a way to start the conversation, I'd say the current GOP
is about 30% fundamentalist Christian
about 35% pro-business/corporate
about 20% small government/anti-tax
and about 15% "other redneck"

4. I think some of the corporate big business types
are quite moderate on social issues.
