I was talking about the panic he is causing in the Republican establishment.

Even that is lame, this is nothing on the scale of the massive national battle of the Reagan versus Rockefeller branches of the GOP wars of the 1970s, or the current national battle between the Palin (Reagan) versus Romney (Rockefeller) branches of the GOP for power.

There is a mini version of the war being fought out in Kentucky, but the scale is vastly different, that micro war shows up in a lot of places this cycle, Kentucky is not the only race where it is demonstrated.

Reagan had to compromise in 1980, when he made GHW Bush, from the Rockefeller wing of the GOP, his Vice-President. When Reagan stepped down in 1989, the Rockefeller Republicans seized full control of the GOP, once more.
