"And so, politically, the G.O.P. is squeezed at both ends. The party is losing the working class by sins of omission — because it has not developed policies to address economic anxiety. It has lost the educated class by sins of commission — by telling members of that class to go away. "
--David Brooks
While these are historic times economically, they are also historic times politically. We are watching the death of this version of the Republican Party, a party that has lost the coalition that elected and re-elected W. The GOP has become a caricature of itself, represented now only by its fringiest and most socially conservative elements. At least Sean Hannity is happy.
