Iran's latest ethnic revolt Amir Taheri
Mr. Ed Rollins may be out....The Prowler
Thanks for the links, Molly! I just keep wondering: what Republicans are REALLY voting for Huckabee or McCain? This has to be one of those “contrived-poll” things, like when the NYT “finds” an alleged Republican voter who is really a Democratic voter/donor trashing President Bush for democracy in ME/social security reform/ESCR/whatever.
I’ve talked with all kinds of pubbie voters in the last few weeks and not a single one of them was a fan of Huck OR McCain. To the contrary, the Dems I’ve talked to are simply, positively gleeful about a HuckHill or HuckObama matchup, or McCain against anybody, because they are completely certain the Dems would win. It’s all about identity politics for the Dems, and they love the idea of being able to cariacaturize (sp?) the GOP as naive (slack-jawed), closed-minded “Christianists” who are bigoted to big blocks of American voters, or being able to paint the GOP with McCain’s angry brush, and have the “maverick” AGAIN betray the principles of party to maintain his collegiality with traitorous Dems for media favor.
Unfortunately, the media discouragement campaign of pubbies seems to be working. By the time the primaries roll around to most of America, we will likely have the two LEAST conservative candidates in the field as the standard bearers of our party.
Sigh. Sometimes I feel like the GOP is the party of the circular firing squad.
