On a serious note, the GOP hasn't had one soul; they've had two.
It's been a partnership between the Christian Right and the Fiscally Conservative Center for as long as I can remember. What seems to be happening is that the fiscal conservatives now mostly live in Blue States and some new alliance has to be built, likely between the Chritian Right and someone else (The Hawks McCain appeals to? The socially conservative union crowd Huckabee is focused on?). And many in the Christian Right want to be the senior partners. The Dems are bringing out bigger votes and more excitement right now, but there may be more at stake in the Republican primary.
