In a simplistic way I would divide the Republican primary votes in 3. McCain had the advatage of 2/3's of the real Republican vote split and he got independents and cross-over votes. McCain did not get a majority of the Republican vote. Also, compared to Obama, McCain's support was weak among those who supported him. When Bush ran in 2000 and 2004, I volunteered to work both times. I did not do anything other than vote to get McCain elected.

I think there can be a diversity of people in a party, but not a diversity of views on the core issues. What you describe seems to be a collection of people with no direction to me.
