Republican Prospects

This is an analysis by an author at a conservative think tank. Basically, he explains how the Bush cabal has succeeded in shrinking and perverting the Republican party--also how his malign influence can be reversed in future. A cogent analysis I think, though he skips a few important issues and seems to underestimate the difficulty of bringing medical costs under control by any means short of draconian nationalization.     http://www.nytimes.com/2008/09/07/magazine/07Inequality-t.html?em
