Those who fail to read Downs

Christie Todd Whitman gets it:

A clear and present danger Republicans face today is that the party will now move so far to the right that it ends up alienating centrist voters and marginalizing itself.

On the other hand, the eternally vapid Kathryn Jean Lopez proves her need to stick to pimping subscriptions (☣) rather than attempting to make political commentary, while the new-to-me Ed Driscoll apparently also needs to make the steep investment in a copy of Downs. Barring such expenditure, at the very least they should realize that telling moderate Republicans to go fuck themselves until their votes are next needed in November 2006 is a bit rude. (þ: memeorandum)

Someone needs to clue Arianna Huffington in as well. I agree that the country is a center-right country, which works out well for me personally. I just don’t want us swinging too hard to the left to find the center.

This is not telling the mods to go jump, but just telling them they are not in charge. Remember who was in charge when the Reps were known for losing—yep, the mods.
