re: #229 prairiefire

They are giving up pretense to leadership, with a heavy sigh. I think at least the pundits see they are rudderless.

The Gop saw that there was enough support in their base to change policy on Afghanistan. There were a few grumbles at first but pretty much everybody is willing to go along at this point. The real fun question is who is going to be the first major figure to come out with the new talking points? Bachman is the obvious choice but they might get Palin to go first. The Tea Partiers will go along for sure.
