Pat Buchanan: Keep the Moderates Out of My Tent
Posted by gopinder on November 13, 2008
On Hardball today, we got to see the beginnings of a GOP at war with itself in its post-election identity crisis:
The young, non-white guy (or gal) tries to broaden the appeal of the Republican Party, and the old, white guard, still stuck in the culture wars of the 20th century, pushes back hard. I personally don’t mind seeing this kind of infighting continuing among the GOP for a long time, and not just because it provides a great source of entertainment. If the likes of Pat Buchanan and Sarah Palin continue to hold onto the reigns of the party, the next few election cycles are going to look very good for the Democrats, who have learned to (gasp) run on issues that voters care about.
