Sunday reading: Ambivalence
Ben Smith's Blog — ... And Markos,who knows something about internal party battles, doesn't think either Huck or Palin can take over the GOP the way Howard Dean did the Democratic Party. ...

The Coming Remaking Of The GOP
TalkLeft — David Brooks get his licks in early. Most of it is nonsense but it is fun to read this: McCain and Republicans stayed within their lines . . . the old resentments and the narrow appeal of conventional Republicanism. As a result, Democrats now control the middle. Markos previews the coming GOP civil war: Things are headed the opposite direction for the GOP. They are increasingly becoming a regional Southern party, and even down there resurgent Democrats are threatening big Senate and House gains. Even in Idaho, ...

SUNDAY ROUNDUP
News — ... at Race 4 2008, Republicans need to undergo an internal war after the election to figure out how to adapt to a new age, just like conservatives under Ronald Reagan and Britain's Margaret Thatcher did before their rise in the 1980s. The Republicans' troubles and their tendency to stick with an out-of-touch establishment reminds kos of the Democrats in 2004, when they lost with a staid candidate, Sen.

The Big Schism
Firedoglake — ... As Kos noted the other day, the war for the future of the Republican Party has begun.  The war is between the TheoCons and the CorporateCons, who since the days of the "Southern Strategy" have been wedded in unholy - and uneasy - electoral matrimony.   The unending war between them for the upper hand is heating up as the Republicans face an electoral butt-kicking on the scale of 1964, 1932 and 1936 - and divorce papers may soon be filed. ...

The Next RNC Chairman
The Next Right — ... might be a good RNC Chairman - not because he would be a transformational leader for the Right, but because he would be a tremendous CEO to help make it possible for a transformational leader to emerge.  I think that's very possible.   Kos' suggestion for RNC Chair - Mike Huckabee - would be great for Democrats (it would mean Republicans have ceded the entire argument about the role of government), but it would destroy the Right's coalition and turn the Republican Party into the Christian Democratic Party. ...
