A great point, well-put

From the BBC News blog "Justin Webb's America"

Looking at the McCain crowd in Arizona, you realise that the Republican party is in trouble. To base a party on white and elderly and socially conservative people is to base a party on a dwindling electoral resource. To manage to lose Hispanic people, as McCain appears to have done, is beyond careless. The Republicans will find someone to gather a new coalition together but it will not be Sarah Palin.


I've been trying to say that, but have not put it nearly so well.

Sheesh ---what happened to Karl Roves' permanent Republican majority ???

Looks like the Democrats may really have a mandate this time !!!

And Palin is a twit who did more harm to their party than they have yet realized.
