I hear the horses' asses are all voting Republican this year; while their heads, where the brains are, are going for Obama, the true Independent. The Democrats are coming along but confused as usual over all the hoof-prints.

Excuse me: you don't hear this from Obama because it would be a) impossible to balance the budget without devastating tax increases; and b) reducing spending is NOT the appropriate policy response to the economic mess the country is in. Your right wing-orthodoxy-at-all-cost is the reason, as the article states clearly, why McCain and Republicans are going to lose so badly this year. Your inability to adjust your thinking in the face of overwhelming contradictory evidence is the sign of willful ignorance or ideological rigidity.

Sarah Pailin is well into self-destruct mode and will quickly become yesterday's news after November 4. She has had her 15 minutes of fame and will lose the Governorship in the next sate election.

The Republican party needs to be "born again". It will have to go into a period of introspection and return to its conservative, pragmatic, common-sense, non-ideological roots. It should be a middle-of-the road party, eschewing culture wars and ideology. In other words, a classic "independent" party of the center. The Democratic party will be fighting over the same turf: that is the foreseeable future of politics at the national level. The left and right fringes will splinter away resorting to sullen third-party initiatives. Obama will set the standard and the style.

All this to say, neither Sarah Pailin nor Romney or Huckabee, will be relevant in the next election cycle. Who are the future Republican Obamas?
