The dark, seedy underbelly of Independence

Jonah reads today's David Broder offering and draws some interesting conclusions:

Broder goes on and on. The translation: Stand for nothing. Get rolled by liberal interest groups. Call yourself a Republican while you do what liberals want. And you will be a guiding light for your party and your country.

Arnold came up in my discussion yesterday with the local Republican Committee man. He does not at all appreciate Arnold's left-turns and describes it all thus:

"He knows folks like you and I would never vote for Angelides. He knows we're trapped."

So he tacks left, picks up what he can there and assures himself of a victory over a very mediocre challenger. Politically smart, but at what price?
