Whither the Moderates?
Fester picks up on the same trend I noted when it was announced Chafee had quit the Republican party. Namely that the GOP is increasingly losing its more moderate members and moving further towards its far-right base and as a result, faces being marginalized on the national scene.
As I said before, while this is good news in the short term for the Democrats, over the long-term, its bad news for American democracy.
