Ann Coulter on now with Al Rantel ---- www.kabc.com
She just talked about the RATS going the way of the Whigs. She is using the word traitor.
Doug, a better analogy would be the Federalists, an elite, New England-based party that died after 1815 because of its rabid anti-war positions. The Whigs died because they would not deal with the main issue of the day, slavery---but neither would the Dems, so that was a wash. But the Federalists were on the opposite side of public opinion, which was anti-British.
