The Coming Republican Bloodbath

Friends, I think things look dark for the Republican Party, and insiders appear to agree. The last few weeks have been devastating for the Party, and House Republicans put the icing on the cake early last week with their performance on the bail-out.

We can talk all we want about standing up for what we believe in, socialism, failure and the like, but at the end of the day, if you want your ideas to prevail, you've got to be in power. What the House Republicans did was a huge strategic error, as their almost certain relegation to a dwindling minority party will have a disastrous impact on their other legislative priorities.
