20 Nov 19 : 19 | The GOP's "Oogedy-Boogedy" Problem, Ctd. Daniel Kennelly joins the debate:Larison is right that they’re reliable and not influential. That’s what happens to political groups who join coalitions for negative reasons rather than any positive support for their platform or ideology. They don’t vote for Republicans; they vote against...

20 Nov 17 : 43 | The GOP's "Oogedy-Boogedy" Problem, Ctd. Marc thinks it favors someone like Jindal:The demographics are changing, and it's probably true that the proportion of voters who identify as conservative evangelicals -- white conservative evangelicals -- will decline over time. It's also probably true that white conservative evangelical... Source : The Daily Dish | By Andrew Sullivan 7 hours ago |
19 Nov 16 : 36 | The GOP In Iowa A useful reality check for what's ahead with the Republicans: Weeks after voters elected Barack Obama president and increased Democratic majorities in Congress, social conservatives in Iowa who have a huge influence in state politics have indicated they won't back down. That has some Iowa... Source : The Daily Dish | By Andrew Sullivan 32 hours ago |
10 Nov 13 : 41 | The Stupid Party From Kathleen Parker's contribution to Slate's forum on the future of conservatism:Palin covered her inadequacies with folksy charm and by drumming up a class war, turning her audiences not just against elites but against the party’s own educated members. The movement created by that superelite,... Source : The Daily Dish | By Andrew Sullivan |
10 Nov 19 : 35 | Paranoid, Party Of One Drum doesn't understand why GOP acolytes are huffing and puffing about the Fairness Doctrine:So why are conservatives in such a tizzy about this? It's a mystery. There do appear to be a few members of Congress who think it's a shame we got rid of the Fairness Doctrine, but as near as I can tell,...

19 Nov 00 : 34 | Shills On A Boat When NRO's fearless leader declares that his magazine was not a shill for Bush, he might want to inform some of his columnists on the cruise ship: I think almost everyone sensed there is something liberating about being in a position of opposition; you no longer have to hold your tongue or take...

18 Nov 21 : 23 | Has The US Become The USSR? Juan Cole examines the latest Bond: With this film, Daniel Craig's Bond, who is from a considerably lower social class than Flemings', has chosen to defy the white-tie set, and the Bush administration's greed and lawlessness, and to stand up for the little people (including Camille, who symbolizes...

18 Nov 01 : 47 | In Defense Of Howie Kurtz This "Reliable Sources" episode was very good: But again: the assumption here is that the Trig maternity story was obviously untrue. How do these reporters know that? I'm a little tired of being the asshole at the dinner party, but the truth is: we still don't know for sure. We only have a letter...

03 Nov 16 : 36 | "The Party Of Andrew" In Jonah Goldberg's honor: A non-movement conservative by definition has no meaningful affiliation with movement conservative institutions.

29 Oct 15 : 11 | The Party Of Limbaugh This is not a good sign:In skirmishes around the country in recent months, evangelicals and others who believe Republicans have been too timid in fighting abortion, gay marriage and illegal immigration have won election to the party's national committee, in preparation for a fight over the direction...

25 Oct 01 : 03 | The Party Of Dixie Alone? Marc on what a Democratic blowout would do to the GOP:To the extent that geography correlates with ideology among congressional Republicans, a major sweep by the Democrats could really be in a position to completely break the gluons that bind the broader party together. The GOP will lose a... Source : The Daily Dish | By Andrew Sullivan |
21 Oct 15 : 11 | No Party For Independents Larry Gellman is tired of the GOP:This latest descent completes the utter destruction of the Republican party as a force for good in this country.

14 Nov 23 : 40 | Why Palin Still Matters, Ctd A reader writes:Your reader wrote:"What is missing is the step of coming to judgement . . ." That's the key phrase for me and it's why I continue to find Gingrich a fascinating character. He has begun to make noises about Conservatives addressing how the Republican Party has contributed to the... Source : The Daily Dish | By Andrew Sullivan |
14 Nov 18 : 46 | And Still They Thunder I've been a little taken aback by the news that gun sales have rocketed in red states since Obama was elected. Watching O'Reilly and reading Drudge lately has also been a bit of a revelation. A reader sums it up:I can't tell whether the lack of serious attention given to the continued hysteria about...

13 Nov 23 : 45 | Obama And The Executive Ilya Somin doesn't think that Obama will roll back executive power. We'll see. But you know what? At least we'll be able to tell who was attacking Bush for partisan and who for principled reasons. I consider myself part of the loyal and constructive opposition, as of January 21. Promise. Of no party... Source : The Daily Dish | By Andrew Sullivan |
13 Nov 16 : 55 | Why Palin Still Matters, Ctd. Drum agrees:Despite all the grief she's gotten, I continue to think that the selection of Sarah Palin as John McCain's running mate represents the breaking of a consensual cultural barrier far more fundamental than most people realize. It's not just that she was inexperienced (Spiro Agnew and John... Source : The Daily Dish | By Andrew Sullivan |

13 Nov 01 : 37 | Proof, Puddings, &c. Nate Silver makes a good point:What ultimately distinguishes the elections that are considered to have been realignments is the efficacy of the governance of the rising party, rather than the force with which said party took office. Ronald Reagan and FDR, famously, had coattails -- but so did Warren... Source : The Daily Dish | By Andrew Sullivan |
12 Nov 18 : 49 | Why Palin Still Matters Some readers think my continuing attempt to expose all the lies and flim-flam and bizarre behavior of Sarah Palin is now moot. She's history - they argue. Move on. I think she probably is history. Even Bill Kristol and his minions in the McCain-Palin campaign may not be able to resuscitate her... Source : The Daily Dish | By Andrew Sullivan |
12 Nov 00 : 35 | McCain Re-Emerges J-Mart thinks Palin's strutting around helps McCain:The Palin obsession -- which she has fed by going on a media tour and returning to the Lower 48 for the RGA meeting -- obscures the mistakes McCain made in his own campaign (though some would say one of those was in picking the Alaska...

11 Nov 18 : 41 | Torture Lite? Siobhan Gorman reports:Mr. Obama said he opposed providing legal immunity to telecommunications companies that aided warrantless surveillance, but ultimately voted for the bill, which included an immunity provision.

10 Nov 16 : 30 | Torture, Abortion, Theoconservatism Larison intrudes on the Douthat-Kmiec abortion spat:If I find Obama’s position on abortion to be be as disrespectful and hostile to human dignity as the right’s torture apologists, indeed more so, which therefore makes him unacceptable in my eyes, it is not so outlandish or bizarre to imagine...

09 Nov 20 : 00 | Malkin Award Nominee "There had been a few white people blowing car horns and shouting, as the result became clear. But among the Mexicans, Salvadorans and the other Third World nationalities, there was something like ecstasy. They grasped the real significance of this moment. They knew it meant that America had... Source : The Daily Dish | By Andrew Sullivan |
07 Nov 14 : 14 | Purity Purges John Cole on the GOP circular firing squad: If they were smart, they would regroup, and decide what they stand for and present it to the American people.

06 Nov 17 : 07 | Children, Please Megan is getting testy: Every time we have an election, the partisans confuse the fact that the independents disliked the opposition candidate, with the idea that the independents joined their party.

04 Nov 12 : 31 | If Obama Wins... Drum looks into the future:If this happens, the upshot is that both parties get moved to the right. Most of the Democratic pickups will be in centrist states and districts, which will move the Democratic caucus moderately toward the center. At the same time, it will remove these centrist states and... Source : The Daily Dish | By Andrew Sullivan |
30 Oct 21 : 07 | The Rift "We ran into the bailout. The bailout touched upon the larger discussion in the Republican Party. It's not the conservatives versus the moderates, that's the rather cliched way of looking at it. What you really have are globalists versus traditionalists. Globalists tend to view America as an...

27 Oct 14 : 20 | The Looming Limbaugh Syndrome Ross calls Rush Limbaugh's latest diatribe against moderate Republicans "required reading for anyone seeking to understand one of the most powerful conservative narratives emerging around the looming GOP debacle."
