The Rats Putting on Life Jackets...

Oh the sweet irony - the clash of social conservatives and classical conservatives within the GOP has now struck the very heart of their party. Apparently, internecine strife within the McCain-Palin campaign is starting to tear things apart, as Palin moves to protect herself for a run in 2012 or to "become the future leader of the party." Though we think of this election as about the future of the country, I think that course is set to play out pretty much on time thanks to Herr Bush - on the other hand, we certainly are witnessing a crisis within the Republican Party about its future as well. Perhaps a fracture may be the result...perhaps something else. Will the lunatics come to run the asylum?
