His support from the people didn't exactly translate into votes, and if the rank and filers don't particularly care for him obviously the party heads have no reason to.
If the party machine is *ignoring* the rank and filers based on their interests (finacial, whatever), that's a different story obviously--but again he wouldn't have party machine support.
I think this thing is a crap shoot. Yet another decision made on how people (party heads, probably) FEEL rather than a rational look at who has the best plans for the party overall.
