Yes but the Democrat have one massive advantage, whether they deserve it or not -- the GOP seems to have decided to learn nothing from their electoral B&D session over the last cycle. I'm seeing any signs they actually want to govern for another generation or so.

Fark. I'm NOT seeing any signs...

hmmmmm, that makes me feel a bit uncomfortable fer sure.
The Defense Secretary should be told "look mate, we know you want him but there's 300 million other people in the US, some of whom can probably do a fuck off job themselves. Pick one of them instead".
I was watching something on one of the freeview channels a day or two ago on one of those shows where they have a whole lot of US talking heads and they were discussing where the Republicans go from here. One school of thought was that they say bugger this and head off way the hell to the right to establish a clear line of difference (which would be a total and utter disaster IMO because of how the Democrats will adjust the masses thought processes in the next 4 years) OR do they shift themselves to a more progressive, more centrist position and learn to compete with the Democrats for some of that middle ground.
I don't know what the conclusion to the discussion was, I think my 2 year old requested I go outside and water the plants. Her latest hobby.

Or there's another school of thought that it's entirely possible to be firmly on the right, without being demented theocrats -- careful, pragmatic and modest in not letting their reach extend beyond their (restrained) grasp. The Republican Party used to be very good at it, once up a time.
