I think that's exactly it. People I have spoken with throughout the city seem to think Redford lost her way, but the WR remains too far right for them to vote for. As always, WR will carry the same support groups as the CPC does best with: Old people (pre-boomers) and rural voters. With both those groups getting smaller every year, I can't see WR making any inroads into the cities unless they shift to be a lot more centrist, which, is what they tried to do at the last election, despite it being against their core beliefs.
