Stimulus Stance Isolates Sanford - WSJ.com
The GOP is in serious trouble. They are forming circular firing squads all over the country. In Pennsylvania, Senator Spector's seat is under heavy threat from conservative candidates. He may pull off winning the primary, but the general could be tough as the state trends Blue.
SC is crazy for turning down federal money. With the second highest unemployment rate in the country, you might think that funding schools and police might be a good idea. I'm not sure what the long-term effects of this will be but, I can see a DNC ad when Sanford runs for Prez about how he refused to take care of teachers and public safety when he had a chance to.
The issue is that the GOP is the Democratic party of 1972. They are the party of special interests. The Club for Growth crazies feel that principles are more important than being competent. The "Conservatives" have to give special dispensation from to raise funds. The Democrats will have an easy time picking off moderate GOP seats as long as "principle" and "Reagan" are paramount before governing and competence. Perhaps that is Karl Rove's greatest legacy to the Democrats?
