This may be the worst timed book since James Glassman and Kevin Hassett's DOW 36,000: The New Strategy for Profiting from the Coming Rise in the Stock Market, predicting in September, 1999 that the stock market was about to shoot sky high -- 6 months before it collapsed.James Glassman:
That was a cheap shot!

Like the premise of the book -- Bush is going to lose by appealing to a bunch of crazy Christians! -- Whitman's argument is based on conventional wisdom that is now known to be false. So are we to assume that Whitman et al are an insignificant entitity?

Two Coulters in one week! Thanks for the post.
I lump Whitman with another Republican apologist, Arlen Specter, who yesterday said Republicans are equally to blame for the judicial nominations impasse.

but we Republicans like ideas that work, not ideas we've been told for 25 years will work, but never have.

It seems Whitman's implication is that moderate Republican didn't vote for President Bush. Then, who did moderate Republicans vote for?
Yes,Republicans and some Democrats voted for Bush - Democrats and some turn coat Republican voted for Kerry - but the majority voted for their respective candidates.
Whitman's positions seems a little naive, if not dumb. However, one can guess that she is talking to her specific constituency.

Nice find on this article. Thanks.
I think it should be posted again whenever the RINOs start making noises about how we need to get more moderate.

Ping for my favorite quotes:
"Without a freak event like Watergate or Ross Perot, the Democrats would not have elected a single President since 1964. "
This is a two-fer--not only does she make a point that Demos are unsuccessful, she slams the "freak event" Ross Perot.
"As the extra little strawberry on top, the opposition party is in complete disarray desperately trying to fake a belief in moral values and to come up with a new stance on abortion that will stop scaring voters. Solely to avoid disappearing as a Party, the Democrats will probably modify their position on abortion before Whitman does. "
While slamming Demos, she backhands Whitman again.
"This may be the worst timed book since James Glassman and Kevin Hassett's DOW 36,000: The New Strategy for Profiting from the Coming Rise in the Stock Market, predicting in September, 1999 that the stock market was about to shoot sky high -- 6 months before it collapsed. "
I remember those days. I looked at the P/E ratios (100:1 to 300:1) and figured what their earnings had to be to justify them and I stayed away from them like they were radioactive. Even Microsoft.
"Leaving aside the substantive point of whether Republicans should join Whitman in placing more value on Bambi's life than the life of an unborn human baby, Whitman raises an empirical question. "
A classic Coulterism--condemning Demos for their positions by showing how ridiculous they are.
And I've gotta go--that's it for now.
