Wonder how her book signing is going? I saw a report earlier that people had shown up at 5am and the line was long long long about fiver hours before she was to show up!

"She contrasted the somewhat tumultuous state of the GOP to what's going on in the Democratic party today."

Actually, I think that there is more turmoil in the Democratic Party, it just does not get as much coverage. Witness the Progressive wing of the party threatening the Blue Dog Dems with primary battles. Look at what happened to Joe Lieberman in a Democratic Primary. When is the last time that GOP activists ousted a setting Senator in a primary? The facts simply do not support the notion that the Dems are more deferential to their leaders than are the Republicans. I think that it is just the opposite, which is why the Democratic Party is far more worried about pleasing its liberal base that the GOP is about pleasing its conservative base.
