Thoughts on the day after
76 days to go, the transition team is not only named, but apparently up and running (as it has been quitly for months). The first appointment--Rahm Emaanuel as chief of staff is a good one, but a loss for the Congress. I was hoping that he would supplant Nancy. Oh well.
With 4 Senate races undecided and several House seats still up for grabs today marks the official beginning of the 2010 Election season. 1/3 of the Senate and a ton of governors are up for election and control of statehouses is essential with reapportionment coming based upon the 2010 census.
The fight about countrol of the Republican Party is always as is the debate as to what it means to be a "real Republican." Apparently a relative of those "real Americans" that we heard about during the campaign. Apparently a meeting is taking place tomorrow to determine the direction of conservatism in the United States. I think that all they have to do is what I did the other day by pulling out and reading my autographed copy of Conscience of a Conservative. My father was given the book by Barry Goldwater who I had originally had met at the Arizona Biltmore Hotel and I couldn't help comparing John McCain and Barry Goldwater. Both were Senators from Arizona,soundly defeated in their quest for the Presidency but Barry Goldwater preserved his dignity and reputation. John McCain compromized his honor by selling out to the religous right and the neocons. The Republican party must return to its Goldwater roots.
