The tables turn: Those zany Republicans are behaving like Democrats
http://buzzflash.com/articles/carpenter/278


...from the Times: "An internet campaign is already under way to promote Palin as the Republican party’s best choice to challenge Obama in the presidential elections of 2012. More than 60,000 people have joined TeamSarah.org, an umbrella group that unites numerous pro-Palin fan clubs such as Catholics for Sarah, Texans for Palin and Small Business-Owners for Sarah."

A good guess as to when these people completely lost their minds was when Sarah reached into her purse and pulled out "Lipstick," but the true origins of such dark psychoses are always up for debate (maybe the Steering Committee can take that up).

On the other hand, if President Obama can get the economy turned around in a passably sober Rotarian fashion and avoid the unendurable pitfalls of yearning, neoconservative domination, ain't nobody gonna beat him in 2012. And that's an exceedingly easy and bankable prediction.

Therefore, Republicans might as well indulge themselves for a while -- might as well engage in the most feel-good but self-destructive of organizational infighting, might as well promote the personally unpromotable, might as well go all exotically ideological on us, and therefore discover what 1972 felt like for the losing side. Because they've obviously forgotten 1964, or for that matter, 2008 already.
