The thing is when the Dems got beat in landslides in ‘84 and ‘88, you could see via guys like Gary Hart and some others that there was new movement of Democrats. I am trying to see a new movement of Republicans that rejects supply side idiocy and or culture wars. But I’m not seeing it. I look at my own state and see that the Republican Party has nominated the personification of the old way George Allen for Senate and will almost certainly nominate Ken Cuccinneli who is quite socially conservative for governor next year. Seems to me that many Republicans want to act like this is still the 1980’s. It’s not and if that party is to be competitive long term with changing demographics and values, they need to adapt and I’ve seen no signs of that. If Jon Huntsman had did better than Ron Paul in the primaries then maybe I’d be inclined to believe that but this is the same old Republican Party.
