quote for the day

"More and more I think there's only two possibilities: Either the GOP is in fact in a death spiral and will actually disappear as a national party within the next decade, or the GOP has realized that in a two-party system you don't actually need to say you're sorry; you can just sit back and wait for your opponents to have bad luck, then go crazy once you're back in office. After that incumbency will protect you for a good, long while, and even to the extent it doesn't you can accomplish long-term goals in a very short timespan with party unity, weak opposition, and a compliant, mendacious press."

Gerry Canavan, presenting a chilling thought.

His original post has a bunch of links and a lovely chart showing how the GOP has lost voters in almost every domographic subcatagory. Not incidentally, here he makes a good point about the wet noodle that is Harry Reid.
