Observation
In the last couple of days, I have heard or read reports about how Republican candidates were all jockeying to be the purest candidate on immigration, taxes, and abortion, and it struck me that the Republicans are now very much in the position Dems were in back in the 70s, where their primaries really are run by some pretty hard-core ideologues.
So right now, pretty every Republican is trying to take a hard right position on abortion, immigration, and taxes, while the Dems are making clear in debates that they're not going to withdraw from Iraq right away, that they aren't going to push any budget busters, and that they have thoughtful, mixed positions on almost every issue (except Choice - that's still the D litmus test issue).
I'm sure you've already noticed this, and I'm not mentioning anything new, but it really struck me listening to the last couple of days news on the primaries. So what the hell are you Rs going to do about it?
