Neither one of those "power bases" can be very big, population-wise. Certainly not big enough to sacrifice the votes they give up by pandering to them. I think "money base" would be a more accurate description on both accounts. Neither the far left gun grabbers nor the far right Bible thumpers speak for many. Both are seen as extremists to the vast majority of us. They must have lots of money...
