Conservative Wingnuttery: Our Ace in the Hole

[Cary]

Looks like the Florida Senate race is taking on the same trajectory as NY23. :)

On a conference call with reporters in a few minutes, Florida Republican Party Chair Jim Greer is expected to step down from the chairmanship Gov. Charlie Crist gave him in 2007. The move leaves Crist without one of his most important allies, and supporters of Marco Rubio with real hope they can defeat Crist in this year's primary.

It's hard to overstate the importance of this resignation to the national GOP landscape.

Florida is shaping up to be the epicenter of the intraparty GOP war in 2010, and the resignation of Greer suggests the battle is tilting toward the ultra-conservatives on the tea party side of the line. Ever since Crist entered the Senate race, Rubio backers have accused Greer of turning the state party into an arm of the Crist campaign. Crist and Greer are longtime political friends, and Greer made it clear from the get-go that he supported Crist over Rubio (he promised to run the party objectively, however.) Rubio backers began to attack him and call for his resignation. Now -- over Crist's objections -- they appear to have gotten their wish.

1. They are destroying each other....

why some on the left want to do the same thing, is beyond me. Crazies

2. The RWers seem to be taking on some of the time honored

characteristics of the Democratic left - infighting and mutual distrust and disrespect.

I'm glad to see it in the GOP.
I'd be happy to see a lot less of it among the Democrats, especially in an election year.

3. 1996 all over again. Except this time I'm watching it live on the worldwide web.

I look forward to Obama's impeachment hearsings, followed by 6 years of rightwing legislation. Just in time to watch a new Republican regime ushered in on the waves of 'one pol is the same as any other pol'.

I am tired and weary today. Very tired. Very weary.
