yesterday lindsay graham made comments in a press conference saying that they really don't represent the republicans party, they represent nobody except a small group of listeners. today in the nytimes, david brooks (the voice of reason in the right) said the same thing in an interesting column pointing out that they may be a loud media presence, but they represent an extremely small demographic that can't do much of anything to swing elections (pointing out their bitter non-endorsement of mccain in the primaries, among other things). it's worth reading.
so, here comes the first few faltering steps of the republican party trying to re-emerge as a political force (farce?) in america. to do it they have to distance themselves from the extreme right, the only base they still have..
fun fun fun...
