Because they Have Lost the People Who Worship Power

If you thought that the Republican Party's poll numbers could not go any lower, you would be wrong, they can, and they have.

Favorable/Unfavorable has gone from 40/53 to 34/61.

The real change is that a month ago, Obama had not won the election, so people who cling to power were still with them.

There are always people who want to hang with the winning team, not matter how repugnant, and those rats have boarded the lifeboats.
