David Plouffe, Barack Obama's, campaign manager went on "Meet The Press" on Sunday and all but thanked Sarah Palin. He said the Obama campaign was astounded when her selection was announced. (They had to Google her.) More importantly, he said that Palin, and the conservative wing of the GOP, are leading them to ruin. New York Times columnist Frank Rich details how Palin and outsiders are meddling in a New York congressional race.
Plouffe has a point. As shown in the last election, the country is becoming more liberal, and yet elements of the GOP want the party to become more conservative. If they keep going that way, they will eventually end up looking like a fascist party. (Although some liberal commentators would say they already have reached that point.)
Most presidents and ruling parties, succeed by being moderates. Clinton was a moderate Democrat, and Obama seems to be a moderate. Is there room for moderates in the GOP? It does not seem so.
