DEL.ICIO.USGloomy in America
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Peggy Noonan in the WSJ, on the glum outlook for Republicans:
“If they had pushed away for serious reasons, they could have separated the party’s fortunes from the president’s. This would have left a painfully broken party, but they wouldn’t be left with a ruined ‘brand,’ as they all say, speaking the language of marketing. And they speak that language because they are marketers, not thinkers. Not serious about policy. Not serious about ideas. And not serious about leadership, only followership.”
Her piece almost makes me feel sad about all this.

By staying on the sinking ship, the Republicans have inextricably bound themselves to the failed identity: “Republican = Bush = Iraq War.”
No wonder nobody’s going to vote for them.
