Republicans don’t want to face Obama

Byron York write in the National Review:

I went to Barack Obama’s rally here, on Sunday night, with a Republican friend who had never seen the Illinois senator in action before. Watching the crowd of more than 3,000 fill up the convention center, watching the people send up waves of energy to Obama, and watching him play off that energy in a speech that was one of the best political performances anyone has seen this year, my Republican friend said, simply, “Oh, s—t.” He recalled the scene from Jaws, in which the small seaside town’s sheriff realizes how big the shark he’s tracking truly is, and says, “We’re gonna need a bigger boat.” What my friend didn’t have to say was that he was deeply worried that Republicans just don’t have a bigger boat.

McCain win South Carolina

John McCain has won the South Carolina GOP primary. This is bad news for Democrats since he is the best hope for the GOP, though it’s still very early. Romney is still in this race, so it’s too early to annoint McCain as the nominee.

The big loser is Giuliani. He needed Huckabee to win South Carolina for maximum chaos. Now with McCain in good shape, Giuliani doesn’t have as strong a claim on the war on terror/scare the crap out of everyone crowd.

The GOP race is still a muddled mess, but I suspect it will come down to a race between Romney and McCain.

GOP coming apart

It’s only a matter of time. The coalition of economic conservatives, social conservatives, old-school foreign policy conservatives and the neocons will not last. The Democrats should win in November unless they completely blow it.

Here’s a gem from comedian Rush Limbaugh:

“I’m here to tell you, if either of these two guys [McCain or Huchabee] get the nomination, it’s going to destroy the Republican Party, it’s going to change it forever, be the end of it.”
