“…conservatives must find a way to connect with ordinary Americans again.” Find a way? Gee, a puzzle, or does this just reveal a mighty disconnect between intellectual masturbation and reality. Stop with the condescending attitude. Wither the GOP is a game for James Carville and David Frum. Like the poker guys says, don’t play the other guy’s game. Us peasants already know where we want to go. The Beltway GOP will be the last to figure it out. Who can rally the conservative base, appeal to independents and working class Democrats? Who inspires such affection and confidence that people will happily wait in line for hours to fill an arena to hear their standard bearer? Who freaks out the snobs of both parties with a wink and annoys the hell out of The Messiah and His minions? You know who.
