The future of the Republican Party and the conservative movement are going to be made or ended in the next 5 days, and I’m scared for this country.
First, the GOP can’t back down on the bailout.
Second, even McCain must see by now that his bi-partisan schtick is over and his friends across the isle are trying to cut him off at the knees.
He needs to start hitting hard at the rats and it needs to start tonight at the debate. He needs to expose Barak for the first-term backbencher that he is and he’s not going to do that with polite discussion.
Finally. Palin better drop the coy school marm bit and come out swinging during the VP debate. If people don’t see her steel at that moment she’s going to relegated to the back shelf as inconsequential and only good for drawing rally crowds.
All of the Rebulicans better start getting some Guff, Just like Bunning or else they are in deep trouble. The media is just full of democrat sound bites blaming everything on them.
If McCain ends up supporting the Paulson plan or anything like it, then he is all done.
The GOP moved from tragedy to farce years ago. He's 72 (with respect to all the seniors here) and not in good health. This was damn foreseeable months ago.
