10. Well its interesting to see if the freeps realize the dilemma they are in
b/c on one end, the Republicans have been wanting to attract more pop entertainment stars to come out and support them, but on the other end the Christian right is convinced that they have exclusive control over who represents "their" party. It will be funny to see the meltdown that they are going to have when they realize that their bitchiness will isolate them further away from a party that wants to solidify its powerbase more broadly.

This past election we saw that the Dems had a clear advantage in the celebrity and rock star endorsement area. I'm just curious to know if the Freepers realize that they've just allowed the whining bitchy Christian Right push away the kind of Pop culture acceptance, albeit in the form of Kid Rock, the Republican party so desperately wants, but has had so much trouble attracting. Its not everyday a pop star endorses a conservative, and it'll be fun to witness this conflicting dynamic grow bigger and bigger between these two differing wings of the Republican party.
