re: #247 Amory Blaine

I think that the personal attacks on Obama will slow down because Obama won’t be a target in 2016. How they expend that energy is anyone’s guess right now. I think a further march rightward is in the cards though.

good point. I also suspect some soul searching among Republican party insiders after Mitt’s loss. Of course the base will froth and demand more extreme candidates but the GOP insiders are going to start looking at rebuilding a serious political party. Not sure what direction they may take but I’m sure the discussions have been going on for a while now.
