"The candidate who purports to speak for populist rage in fact turns out to be the candidate of a national political leadership. They used to have a saying in Tammany Hall: "It's better to lose an election than lose control of the party" -- and control of the party is precisely what is at stake in Florida 2010."

>>A few days ago, I was talking to a roomful of young conservatives about the crisis. All agreed in denouncing both the bank bailouts done under TARP and the stimulus. I asked: OK fine, what was the alternative? There was a short pause, and then somebody laughed: "I guess it's lucky that we weren't in power." That's not much of a motto for a would-be national governing coalition. If all we conservatives have to offer is oppositionism, then opposition is the job we'll be assigned to fill.

Interesting to watch the unsurprising implosion of the party. I always thought the GOP was tops on cultivating their youth. Unlike Democrats who tend to ignore up-and-comers unless they need money or votes. The GOP was creating foot-soldiers. Somehow, they seemed to lose their ideology, preferring regurgitation of lies and hate. Older conservatives are turned off and I've never seen that before.
