Lost, GOP

From 2Millionth Web Log

Nate Silver:

The Republicans' problem is not that they don't have a leader, but that they don't have a direction. The House Republicans aren't on the same page as the Senate Republicans, who aren't on the same page as the Red State Governors, who aren't on the same page as the Purple State Governors, who aren't on the same page as the Beltway Elites, who aren't on the same page as the Media Elites. Nobody is happy with their statition in life. Nobody, except maybe Newt Gingrich and John Huntsman, is in anything other than survival mode. Nobody (including Steele, the RNC Chairman) is willing to put the best interests of their party ahead of their desire to mark their territory and increase their personal sphere of influence.

This is not the sign of a healthy party -- but Rush Limbaugh is the least of the Republicans' problems.
