Powell is hardly far right. Rove & Limbaugh are the far right in this case. Both are struggling to find a way to grow the party. In Limbaugh's case its all about $$ and if the party grows in the way that Powell suggests then it will inevitably hurt his numbers. The best way for the Republicans to gain power is to expand the base of the party - just as Powell says. But to do that there are people in the party that would have to soften their stances on social issues. Limbaugh for one refuses to do that.
