It's fun to watch the Republicans implode.
A generation ago, Republicans were dominant among
college graduates. Those days are long gone. Since 1988, Democrats have
become more conservative on economics - and Republicans more
conservative on social issues. College-educated Americans have come to
believe that their money is safe with Democrats - but that their values
are under threat from Republicans. There are more and more
college-educated voters.So the question for the
GOP is: Will it pursue them? This will involve painful change, on
issues ranging from the environment to abortion. It will involve even
more painful changes of style and tone: toward a future that is less
overtly religious, less negligent with policy, and less polarising on
social issues.That's a future that leaves little room for Sarah Palin - but the only hope for a Republican recovery.

And as an added bonus, if Frum's busy with his part in the Republican civil war, maybe he'll be too busy to work any more mischief up here.
Can't see the rethugs being less overtly religious. And just why would it be "painful" to change style and tone? Weird wording that.
double post grrr
Frum's plan for the Republicans was certainly successful for the Conservatives.
just testing
Was it? And if it was, that is perhaps because he is Canadian, and the ideology is different? Because USian style poltiics do not go over well here, I believe it is because of the ideological differences.
