Get PINKDOME Merchandise!

Catty. Chatty. And Occasionally Trashy.

The Big Payoff

Best commentary I read today! Well, it's only 7:50 a.m., but still. I hadn't given much thought to Huckabee's rise and how it is impacting the GOP establishment. I loved the analysis and as a former GOP staffer saw this coming county by county in the 1992 election season.

Republicans have been running on a faux populist/religiously conservative platform ever since Richard Nixon. It was refined and heightened by Lee Atwater and again by Karl Rove. And now that they have a rising candidate who truly represents that platform, the movers and shakers of the party are doing all they can to kneecap him.
