If anything I think the GOP is suffering from being leaderless and the vacuum has enabled a lot of fringe elements to cast their voice when they normally shouldn't be so effective to do so.
Who are the current leaders of the GOP? Sarah Palin? Michael Steele? Meh. Who won the Presidential Nomination though? The moderate. That's where the votes are and always have been.
