Frum says McCain's sorry campaign threatens to bring down the entire Republican Party. Apparently, it is reverberating down the ballot and putting a lot of U.S. Rep, Senate and statehouse seats at risk -- even those that were thought safe. Frum is warning against the Palin part of the party, the only ones energized, fretting that it will kill the Repubs chances of holding onto congressional seats. Here's a sample from the story:
"The themes and messages that are galvanizing the crowds for Palin are bleeding Sens. John Sununu in New Hampshire, Gordon Smith in Oregon, Norm Coleman in Minnesota and Susan Collins in Maine. The Palin approach might have been expected to work better in more traditionally conservative states such as Virginia, North Carolina and Georgia, but they have not worked well enough to compensate for the weak Republican economic message at a moment of global financial crisis."Frum says Obama will win and that Republicans should just acknowledge it and starting warning against one-party rule and power. (Apparently, it was okay when that one-party rule was Republican.) He also seems to be warning that the more moderate voices in the party will have to have a Come To Jesus Meeting with the Shitte Baptists wing-nuts if they are going to rebuild. I would pay to have a ticket to that meeting as I see some good entertainment value there.
