The recent congressional losses for Republicans in the special elections are VERY bad news, especially this one. If I understand right, this is equivalent to a republican winning a historically democrat seat in San Fransisco.
The Republicans have lost their way, and are reaping the absence of conservative leadership from Bush. Sadly, I have a feeling this is going to get MUCH worse before it will get any better, if it does get any better. With McCain running, the Republican party may be finished for good.
I’m no fan of McCain, but he may useful as a transitional figure. We need him to keep the Federal Judiciary safe, especially with three more Supreme Court justices likely to retire. The future of the party has to be its grass roots, not the DC Establishment. That’s how we will find our way. But McCain can hold the line in the meantime.
Yep, ‘Bag it and Tag it’ - They are actually worse than the Demos, most have betrayed their base and turned into a bunch of touchy feelies, traitors all - good riddance!
