As the old guard Republicans stagger to their Last Hurrah in 2012, so also do many Democrats leave the scene, not wanting to take the heat for the mess they made in the kitchen. In the presidential election, the media and crossovers will give them all the help they can. If people cannot see a difference between Obama and whoever, we may have another 4 years of a ‘red’ White House.
The new Dem generation, far more radical than the old, will need to be countered by new Republicans of a strong conservative persuasion. Organizing on a local level is our best chance.
