Vote Anti Incumbent

Ann Coulter, conservative commentator says she will campaign for Hilliary Clinton if McCain is the Republican candidate.

James Dobson, right wing called Evangelical leader says he is deeply disappointed in the Republican party if McCain gets the nomination, which seems likely.

Rush Limbaugh, conservatives favorite talk show host, says McCain has stabbed the Republican party in the back numerous times.

So is the Republican party better off without the above characters and can they win without them. That is the predicament.  It seems like these characters are the reason the Republican party was lost to the social conservatives.  Can they retain their grip and stranglehold on the party?  Would the party be better without them?  As an Independent business man, these are the very people that have turned me off the Republican party.
