The Republican Party is headed for civil war. I'll be fascinated to watch that unfold.

It's better for everyone if the fiscal conservatives take back what was lost.

Um, the party just unified. - Dr.Vermin, pundit Nov 4, 22:42 17
- The only way the party is going to re-unify is if they redefine their "base". Look how many true conservative leaders jumped ship in the last couple - Trish Nov 4, 23:10
- We haven't even gotten to the finger pointing yet. That's where the real fun will be. -- nm - David Nov 4, 22:43 15
  - Get used to disappointment. -- nm - Dr.Vermin, pundit Nov 4, 22:58 2
    - "Get used to disappointment." Running on fumes, eh? -- nm - David Nov 4, 23:05 1
      - He's not accustomed to disappointment, and he's just offering up helpful advice based on his new learnings. - Beryllium Nov 4, 23:07
  - I think this one feels pretty easy for the most part. Bush legacy coupled with McCain poor campaign. - Name Withheld By Request Nov 4, 22:45 2
    - The party has to get unified by January. Otherwise, they're going to get steamrolled next session. -- nm - David Nov 4, 22:47 1
      - January 2010 maybe. The Democrats are getting Obama's first year to see what they can do. - Name Withheld By Request Nov 4, 22:48
  - *points finger at Bush* - Republicans Nov 4, 22:45 8
    - *disagrees with this idea/throws yet another person under the bus* -- nm - gwb Nov 4, 22:48 7
      - Chances of Bush becoming the elder statesmen of the party are slim to none. - Stephen Nov 4, 22:51 6
        
        What you guys need are young leaders, people who are smarter than Palin but don't look like the Crypt Keeper. - David Nov 4, 22:52 1
        
        I agree. - Stephen Nov 4, 22:58
        
        I don't feel it. Can't see him addressing a convention like Clinton can/does. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Nov 4, 22:52 3
        
        Clinton still turns straight guys gay, -- nm - Mel Profit Nov 4, 22:55 2
        
        Right, but ex-Presidents coming back for speeches are a regular tradition as well. It's going to be a few cycles on that one. - Name Withheld By Request Nov 4, 22:59
        
        I love that this applies to both Bill and Hillary. L5! -- nm - Dr.Vermin, pundit Nov 4, 22:59
