The Republican Party needs a drastic overhaul, more in the mold of a Ron Paul than a Sarah Palin. If the GOP picks up on Paul's ideas, it could be back in business by 2010 with a real chance of winning the presidency and Congress in 2012. If not, well, look for a two-term Obama presidency with someone other than Biden -- someone named Hillary, perhaps? - succeeding him in 2016. Hillary will be 68 in 2016, and probably as full of spunk then as she is now.
But the GOP needs to see this probably disaster as an opportunity to return to its roots, to get away from nation-building and most of all to return to sound money.
You're crazy.
