No Hope Here

No, not from me, but from native New Orleanian Quin Hillyer in his piece for The American Spectator. Not a pretty picture for what he anticipates for (less than) the next four years: at least two of the close senate elections stolen, continuing media cheerleading, etc. No question, absent some catastrophic missteps during the next two years, the Republicans won't turn around things for the next election in two years, probably longer. There's no message, no focus, and no Reaganesque champion. The Democrats, on the other hand, learned well from the hated Karl Rove. For all of the complaining from some conservatives about the Rahm Emanuel choice as chief of staff, he reminds me of Rove, who, of course, was deputy chief of staff for Bush II. I think the Republicans need to rediscover their cojones.
