‘Symptoms of that are a complete lack of leadership complete lack of cohesion and very weak candidate line-up. If it was stronger I think there would be more consensus on who should be the presidential nominee at this point. ‘ He added: ‘The Republican party under Bush spent so much of its political capital pursuing the war that a lot of what was traditionally considered a Republican platform about fiscal conservatism – cutting the budget looking at how to streamline entitlements like social security – just fell off the agenda. A lot of people are upset with the President over immigration as well. Now there are signs that it is falling apart with the candidates personifying the fragmentation. For example Giuliani liberal on abortion and gay rights and Huckabee who promises to side with the people against high finance ‘would pull apart the coalition from opposite ends: Giuliani alienating the social conservatives and Huckabee the economic (and foreign policy) conservatives’ according to the right-wing National ReviewIts online editor Kathryn Jean Lopez said: ‘I do think Huckabee is tearing at the coalition – isolating economic conservatives putting non-evangelical religious social conservatives in an awkward spot as he seems to be running as a specifically evangelical candidate.

While they keep your eye focused on the front end a switch can take place at the back end. When they release a total result to the media without releasing the individual precinct results at the same time there is no way at all for citizens to confirm that their precinct results added up to the announced total.
