5 Feet of Fury

GOP should make the tent SMALLER. Exactly.

Are you listening, sucky Canadian “conservatives”…?

Given these facts, it would seem like suicide for the Republican senators to…offend (Hispanics)…

But maybe not, if their strategy is to concede that group to the Democrats and focus their efforts on their white right base. Clearly, that is what they have done.

(…)

…the question remains, will it work? Maybe — if half of Americans do not vote (as they have in past elections); if the minorities who came out to vote for Obama stay home now that the euphoria of a black president has passed; if the young voters return to their habit of staying away from the polls; if the GOP fear tactics gain traction; and if the GOP has sufficiently rallied its base to the level Republicans believe can win elections.

Those “ifs” sound more like sure things to me.
