And what becomes of the Democrat Party and the Buggy Whip Media if they lose this election despite their all out effort to win based on sheer hatred for the current President?
If America rejects their opinion, will they change their focus?
I think the split will be between those Republicans who want the best War on Terrorism President (Rudy) in 2008, and those that will never accept a pro-choice GOP nominee.
I think that is wishful thinking on his part. The GOP has never been more united and never been a bigger tent.

Hehe.
Please, keep it up, better the Dems die not knowing what went wrong.
Decature Daily Democrat... Propaganda to try and garner some Republican support for Kerry... Thats what I think....
I would respectfully disagree. I believe that there is a rift brewing in the GOP. Yes, we are united on electing President Bush, but he is really the perfect candidate for our party.
The modern Republican Party is made up of two main factions: religious social conservatives and business-minded "county-club Republican" fiscal conservatives. The President is able to appeal to both of these factions, but not many other candidates can.
I'm hoping a candidate emerges that can appeal to both. If not, I think we have a primary coming up in '08 that will be bloodier than the one the Democrats just experienced.

The Democrat Party is disintrigrating.
What with Campaign Finance Reform, they can't raise soft funds. And since they don't have a grass roots, there's no longer any reason for them to exist.
The young are the future, by definition. Neocons will prevail, and the Pat Buchanans will retire to luxury elder communities, just opposite Dan Rather's psychiatric ward.
If they lose this election, you may be right. If they win, they could tilt the electorate in their favor for the long term, by opening up immigration even wider than is already the case, and getting those news folks registered en masse, in state after state.
From the post: "Bill Kristol's demonstrated enthusiasms, at any rate, this seems likely to be Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), "
McCain is another Kerry in my opinion - He is a fake and not worthy of any party backing -
(Perhaps that is why Kerry mentions McCain so often, along with other Socialist Democrats. The only difference is perhaps China - and perhaps that is why Iraq happened - it was in China's interest - I noticed the voice coming out of China wasn't nearly as strong as France, Germany, and Russia - )
And Kristol can take his worship of McCain and
just my opinion - review the report on campaign financing that came out(actually hidden from the public) during the Clinton administration - and see who got money from China - both Reps. and Demos. Makes me wonder what role they are playing
McCain is unstable. He has that crazy look in his eye, you know? I would not support him for President. I have not put too much thought into the 2008 primaries but how about Michael Steele and Condi Rice as a ticket?
The dems. have been pushing this idea of a split in the republican party for months in an effort to break down morale prior to the election. I don't believe it. It is the left that is a hotbed of interparty intrigue and backstabbing. Republicans disagree, but they rarely stoop to the same level.
Stop right there.
Buchanan is no longer a Republican. He has absolutely no influence over the GOP.
Bringing him up as an example of the differences within the GOP, therefore, is specious. And that's putting it mildly.
If the author wants to view a major rift inside a party, he need look no further than the Democrats. The energized portion of that party, its far-far Left personified by MoveOn.org, will more than likely ditch the Democrats altogether once Kerry loses.
Just watch.
The bigger the tent, the greater the loss. Reagan's right-wing tent took in right-wing Dems, period. Dole's BIG tent took in social liberals. Who won?
Not Rudy, sorry. I don't think he can win a tough primary, even though he might win nationwide.
Gen Franks!
Tommy in '08!!
Rudy is a good bet to replace John A as AG sometime this term.
Oh man, I totally agree. He is a nut case with a deep deep mean streak. God help us if the gets elected.
John
Great another opinion piece by a college professor based on pure speculation. I cannot see anywhere in the whole piece that he cites why this would occur.>
