No Room for RINOs
South Carolina's Mark Sanford is one of three GOP governors now being widely mentioned as potential saviors of the Republican Party between now and 2012. All are conspicuous for calling on their own party to live up to its principles. Most notably, none have advocated the GOP move to the left. ...

Your Abbreviated Pundit Round-up
Daily Kos — ... As Republicans sort out the reasons for their defeat, they likely will overlook or dismiss the gorilla in the pulpit. Three little letters, great big problem: G-O-D. I'm bathing in holy water as I type. To be more specific, the evangelical, right-wing, oogedy-boogedy branch of the GOP is what ails the erstwhile conservative party and will continue to afflict and marginalize its constituents if reckoning doesn't soon cometh.

I'm struggling with a head cold, so I apologize if this isn't as coherent and non-mundane as I'd like, but I offer two suggestions. First, in the coming months, let's dispense with the RINO talk. It isn't helpful, and it's exclusionary rhetoric at a time when, so far as I can tell, our ...
