Lets see...
I'm listening here around DC to serious talk about dropping Dole as the
candidate because of how poorly party R is doing in the poles.
I've been watching how party R is trying to revamp their image and their
current nominee because of lack of support.
I've been watching how party R is reacting to the loss of one of their
most favored members, Rush.
So yes, I do think party R cares about what we think, but only because
what we think, and what we are doing, is hurting them and getting their
attention.  Party A has thought they had it in the bag, clearly it is
not.  So party A is doing what it can to get it there.
