Apparently Rove disagrees. There's one more presidential election this decade--as of now, the far right is a liability, because it's spending like a drunken sailor while pushing a conservative agenda that has brought strong reaction. The Schiavo matter clearly didn't poll well, outside of a few churches in the south. And now Rs are embarassing eachother by declining to give back bridges to nowhere for which the money could be spent helping the poor in Louisiana. Besides, do you really think that the right will pull the lever for Hillary out of spite in 2008?
