Just after the hilariously goofy CPAC in Washington, RNC head Steele made some statements about Rush on the DL Hughley show. Well, Rush didn't take too kindly to those remarks.

So we can presume that as long as Obama doesn't mess anything up too bad he's in for 8 years? The Republicans seem miles away from getting their act together and then there's the question of whether they're actually electable with their ideas.

I watched Rush's whole address and it was certainly worth it to see where they're actually at. I also saw a clip of Huckabee claiming Lenin and Stalin would love Obama's plan. Although they were 'communists' even mentioning their names in a comparison is pretty sick stuff.

I'm amazed no-one in the crowd at CPAC ever took a step back and realised some of the stuff that was being said was.......crazy.

Who needs liberal comedians when we have the uncensored GOP to watch?

Back in 1814 the Federalist Party (the conservative party of the day) committed suicide at the Hartford Convention, dried up and blew away, leaving the country with one party. It was called the Era of Good Feeling. I've always wondered what that would be like. We may find out.

The most fascinating part of this is watching the emergence of a new form of PCness. First we had that congressman from Georgia crawling on hands and knees to apologize to Rush, now we have Michael (suburban and urban hip hop) Steele apologizing. (How do you credibly apologize for saying 'incendiary and ugly' without looking like a total fool?)

How soon will publishers start having to use the term 'Limbaughism'?

In just under 4 years, when we're all waking up and checking 538.com to see if the .2 point spread has become a .3, this idea of a GOP in the wilderness will seem quaint.

I'm just trying to brighten your day!


Though, around the time I started watching politics, I remember reading quite a lot about the permanent Repub majority, and how Hispanics were gonna vote Repub is droves and on and on.

More shooting across the bows among the Republicans.

The Republicans are obviously in terrible shape right now. But they stand to make gains in the House, potentially very big gains, in 2010 for two reasons --

1. In 2008 the Democrats won in a lot of districts where they would normally not be competitive, and there will be a reversion to the mean.

2. The economy will almost certainly still be in the toilet and possibly not even showing signs of recovery, which the Democrats need to lock in their gains.

By 2012 the Republicans are likely to have repositioned themselves ideologically and come up with new ideas, which would give them a chance to defeat Obama if the economy is not improving.

Republicans will fall in line before crunch time.

Seriously. The United States is in a depression. There is generally no such thing as static politics but in a depression, the winds can change on a dime.

This all depends on how the economy goes. If before election time the economy improves, Obama will have won big time.

If the economy does improve he will be able to give hmself kudos duing his campaign for ending the war in Iraq, improving the US economy, improving foreign relations and so forth.

Furthermore, IF his policies work, he will be able to paint the GOP as obstructionist, a sentiment that will really resonate with the American public, IF Obamas policies work.

However, I am concerned that the GOPs gloom and doom attitude, their constant onbstructionism and this atmosphere they have created in the business world, that Obama is the end of us all, is adding undue and artificual speculation to the markets which I think may be contributing to the negative effects weve seen in the last couple weeks
