ok, not dead but on life support. looks to me as though the party is going to be torn in 3 directions:
fiscal and socially conservative.
fiscally conservative and ANSWER TO YOUR MAKER on social issues.
or they'll stick with what they've got. incompetent, irresponsible fiscal policy with a dash of social conservatism to win over the religious right.
either way, i doubt one faction will be able to rally all the support and we'll be sitting with a democartic white house, congress, senate and supreme court for the next 50 years.
for what it's worth gov. Gary Johnson would be my pick.
The GOP has been its own worst enemy! They desperately need restructuring!
i'd go a step further and say they need to decide what they stand for because it isn't fiscal conservatism anymore. policing the world? social conservatism? free markets? socialism?
Even well-read Republican commentators\journalists predict a 10 yr absence from power for the GOP. The coalition is scattered & the Religious Right have the base. A "Southern" party has no future!
I can recall the days when the Democratic party was in worse disarray. I look at it as the time for a conservative revolution. We need to get back to basics and remake the party in true conservative fashion. No more of this pandering to the liberal idiots but really representing the conservative base. Bush acted like a leftie and look where it got him.
We are also just waiting for MORE screw ups by the Democratic congress which was so completely incompetent with leaders like Reid and Pelosi that it is only a matter of time (short time at that) before they are the best thing for the conservative values of Americans.

Viva la Conservative revolution!
Very true.
The Democratic congress is already a bunch of screw-ups, and if Obama plays along with them, he'll be one to.
It won't be hard at all to persuade people into voting against them.
Is the GOP dead? No. They got burned by Bush, and McCain really wasn't one of them, so there's a identity crises going on right now. If I'm not mistaken, there was members of the GOP in congress voting for the bail-outs. That wasn't very smart of them.
Personally, I'm sick of all of them. I'm taking a serious look at the Libertarian Party. I don't see them giving into the whims of government control any time soon.
