Great article.

IMHO, the Democrats have become nothing but a party of whiners. They offer no reason to vote FOR them to anyone other that the hardest partisans. I fully realized this during the 2002 FL governors race when the McBride campaign was nothing more than a "I'm not Jeb" platform.

They are left with no principle to stand on, no plan of their own to promulgate, and no credibility to trade with. -Jonah Goldberg

NRO has made a conscious shift from cerebrality to Coulteresque red-meat. I like it.

Case in point: Jonah writes a thoughtful article on the Venona vindication of McCarthy's going after traitors in government. (NPR also had a show on it in which the first line was "McCarthy was right".) No impact in either case. Coulter writes a book in her very pointed way on the same subject. Impact. Some of the insupportable but tenacious revisionism is gone forever.
