Real Clear politics has a great article by Michael Barone regarding the suddenly fluid electoral map.
The emergence of John McCain and to a lesser extent, Barack Obama (who is, after all, merely a more likeable and less hysterical liberal socialist/paternalist/pacifist) create the potential for an entirely new electoral map.
Good reading. Johnny Mac has a chance to turn Oregon, Washington, Minnesota, Wisconsin and a lesser shot at Pennsylvania, New Hampshire and Michigan. The Drama has a good shot to turn Iowa, New Mexico and Ohio, with a lesser chance at Virginia and Montana.
That much fluidity and eight months to go. 2008 might just be an eventful year.
Our raison d'être here at TRS
“War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.” John Stuart Mill
We at The Real Sporer believe that the crises of our generation is the preservation of a United States of America based on fundamental rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Oddly enough, our generation, that grew in the quiet and secure 50s, 60s and 70s and thought we could escape history now find ourselves at the cross roads of history. At a time when the prevailing media, academic and even now industrial elites find the easy road of paternalistic socialist totalitarianism more expedient to travel we are convinced that only preserving the more traditional America will better provide the well known blessings of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness to us and our posterity.
In the real world, the Republican freedom agenda is the only alternative to the thought police and rations commissar of the socialist nanny state. But the agenda that we share with the founding generation, life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, will never again prevail if we don't fight our generation's battle to renew America's commitment to freedom with our socialist adversaries.
Our mission statement is therefore clear: provide the information and argument that leads to a Republican Renaissance and Republican governance.

It would be a great event if 2008 brought about the destruction of the GOP or at the least the return of a sane leadership. The conservative, robber baron, gutless evangelical wing is welcome to leave my party!
cowards one and all, perverts one and All.
And what is "your party"? Would you like a return to the GOP of old..full of the Rockefeller types..happy to get a tee time with the Democrats and get invited to the "in" DC parties?
Look the GOP used to be a party of reason. I grew up with George Romney as Governor. We also Had a Gov. Milliken and a Senator griffin, that had a respect for people and for gov't. They were realistic in what gov't could accomplish and should accomplish.
There was a time when great things were accomplished in our nation through negotiation,communication, compromise,and the realization that dogma is a personal issue and does not belong in the political/govt world.
I would rather have the intelligence of the old GOP than the corrupt, bigoted,perverted, fake christian party that exists today!
So..basically..yes..you want to return to the time when the GOP was an irrelevant party..where we only had about 120 seats in Congress..a few Gov seats..controlled very few legislatures...
"They were realistic in what govt' could accomplish and should accomplish"...So..what is it that Government should and can accomplish?? Should government be the tool to suck more of my hard earned dollars to Des Moines and DC to pay for ridiculous programs that do nothing but make the problems worse?
Or should we make sure that the Democrats like us enough to make sure we get invited to all the tip top little parties on the cocktail circuit?
Anon 5:18..You talk about the "intellegence" of the "old GOP".. If by intellegence you mean..being a permanent minority party....frankly..we don't want any part of it..
