And what they always do is give it to the next one in line. Somehow they have a childlike attachment to Taking Turns. Given that Paul Ryan is the most likely nominee. They might convince themselves that his relative youth is a demographic tsunami. <br /><br />That said, they only look two years ahead. We'll see soon whether they decide to double down, cower before the mighty finger of Grover Norquist, and try to elect more members of the White Citizens Party (formerly Tea Baggers) or will freak out and rebel, scurry around trying to find a bunch of winger women to run, etc., etc. I suspect the moderate GOP has about 72 hours to try to lay down their claim before the wingers awaken from their decline, get up off of their fainting couches, and try to swing their mighty threats around. <br /><br />Good times.Sashahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06501998212859335778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3020960402708303830.post-19148995796413861352012-11-07T16:19:13.784-05:002012-11-07T16:19:13.784-05:00Rumors of my death were greatly exaggerated.

Was just talking to a couple of profs here (both Lefties - full disclosure) who were talking up Rubio because they've Righty colleagues who think Rubio not only wins Latino votes, he wins women because "women think he's hot." Fully tentured fools, one a major campus player, made that pro-Rubio statement.BDRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06557941385560728052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3020960402708303830.post-64357586888602612052012-11-07T09:28:48.472-05:002012-11-07T09:28:48.472-05:00No way on the Rubio unless the GOP is even more mo...No way on the Rubio unless the GOP is even more moronic than this time. He's a right wing Cuban. The Cubans are dying off and being replaced by Mexicans, Puerto Ricans, and Central American Hispanics who don't think much of those two-generations-ago Cubans. <br /><br />Good on Maryland.

This must be how people felt when Reagan got re-elected?<br /><br />Interestingly enough, even the fundiest of fundies in the periphery of my world have been a bit more "keep calm carry on" than I expected, but I think they're a little less loony as it is since we're not south of Mason-Dixon. <br />Prunella Vulgarishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08406854591968722235noreply@blogger.com
