Anyone curious about what will happen with MTP now that Brokaw is due to go home?
Terrifying. Damn glad it is being exposed for what it is.
Posted by Anjha at November 8, 2008 10:47 AMWatching the conservosphere try to figure out their next steps. There is a spectrum of thinking -- from the non-realists who think the only problem is that they didn't talk about abortion and gay marriage enough -- to the relatively rational thinkers who recognize that they need to move back to the center. Amazingly, Steve Schmidt is amongst the latter group.
However, what I've not heard yet from anyone in the conservosphere is an admission that supply-side economics failed, thus requiring a new economic philosophy. They are really having trouble letting go of what GHWB referred to, during the 1980 primary campaign, as "voodoo economics". Probably because if you give that up, then you give up the only rationale you have for zero taxes on the rich.
But until they admit this failure they won't be able to attract the center vote again.
