as rediculous as gingrich is (4.00 / 3)

i would not write the republicans off just yet. they're begged, borrowed, bluffed and stolen themselves into more than a few elections of late, and newt was actually quite clever at repackaging perot's core issues to sell a republican congress to voters in 94, aided by dems disillusioned over NAFTA.

i would be ecstatic to see them go the way of the whigs, but i fear that they'll prove resiliant as long as the democrats refrain from going after them hard.

Re: as rediculous as gingrich is (none / 1)

Oh, I don't think they're going away anytime soon, but their prospects for 2008 are less than good, I would say. In fact, a bit of soul searching after another embarrassing defeat would do them a world of good...
