The Ironies Of Last Night
A nice riff from Nate Silver:
You have Mitt Romney -- one of the wealthiest men ever to run for
office -- critiquing east-coast elitism, and Mike Huckabee -- who is an
economic populist in disguise -- critiquing big government, and Sarah
Palin -- who voters don't know one iota about -- critiquing Barack
Obama's biography.
Increasingly, it seems to me, the GOP reflects some of the most ADD elements in the culture. There is no sense of accountability, no real pretense that anything is for much more than the present, and reality is constantly shaped to fit the demands of the micro-news-cycle. I thought McCain was unlike that. But he's the leader of this party, and he cannot change it overnight. My worry is: he doesn't seem to be trying any more.
