Actually, that makes sense all around. GWB and big-government social conservatives have made the current platform of the GOP an odd hybrid between liberal fiscal/foreign policy and conservative social policy. Some realignment may be in order - the values of the Christian "right" are more conducive to the Democrat platform anyway.
There doesn't seem to be much ideological difference between Republicans and Democrats anymore. It'll be interesting to see what sort of ideological realignment occurs. "Neoconservatives" could probably find themselves pretty comfortable with the far left if they could see fit not to squabble over inane issues like abortion and gay marriage.
