Re: Get On The Donkey
I appreciate David seconding my view as to the continuing relevance of Obamaconism. Like David, I certainly excite at the possibility of Jim Webb as a contender in 2016, and of course I also share his anticipation that the Republicans will be lucky to crack 41% of the vote in 2012.
But I was also quite moved by Jim Antle’s review of the recent manifesto by Joe Scarborough. I strongly suspect that Scarborough is positioning himself for 2016 in anticipation of a debacle in 2012, and could quite easily grab enough media and establishment support to be Willkie to the Landon of a Sarah Palin. As almost certainly the person in the TAC family of blogs with the most personal and family background on the left, I would absolutely vote for Scarborough over the likes of Hillary or Al Franken.
And in the event of a Webb-Scarborough race in 2016? Thy Will Be Done.




The dry run seems to be the ongoing paleocontest in Virginia.
But the Republicans will have to change an awful lot for this to be possible nationally. Whereas plenty of the paleocon agenda already play well with much of the Democratic Party.
