BBC NEWS | Americas | US Elections 2008 | More Republicans desert McCain
The Republican party is slowly disintegrating into a state of "nothingness." In fact, Republicans will be meeting shortly after the election to discuss how they can rejuvinate their party (which tells me they're expecting a McCain loss against Obama). Not good news for the GOP.
Its a cycle.
The Republicans will energize themselves in the next couple of years while the Democrats are in control.
Then the Democrats will slowly disintegrate into a state of "nothingness" and that is when the Republicans will come back into power.
It's a pattern.

Actually, I think the next 4 years will be an exception. Given the extremely poor state of our country right now, things can only improve under an Obama Administration. If people like what they see under Obama, there's a very good possibility that he (or another Democrat) could be elected for another 4 years.
Also, if Palin chooses to run for the Presidency in 2012, there's absolutely no hope for a Republican victory.
Palin is found guilty for abuse her power and other situation, I don't want her to be in white house.
Call it the final stake in the myth and destructive path of the Reagan era. On the evening of October 31, Ron Reagan -- son of the Gipper -- officially endorsed Barack Obama for President.
Reagan now has an evening program on Air America (and is quite good), and had withheld an "official endorsement," he said, because he figured that listeners knew by now where he stood. But you also sensed listening to him that he decided to make a clean break that began when he appeared at the Democratic Convention in 2004. He didn't endorse Kerry then; he spoke on behalf of sickle cell research.
I was there in Boston when he spoke in the convention center and the crowd didn't quite know how to react to the offspring of the Moses of the kooky right wing. Eventually, he received a warm but still restrained round of applause.
Since that time, Reagan -- as anyone who listens to his Air America program will learn -- has become a clear progressive, and if he had not formally endorsed Obama on Halloween Eve (on his radio show), you knew that he was going to vote for him.
This election has changed many of us. Before Obama I never watched Fox News or Sean Hannity (I would rather have visited the dentist); but after Obama Fox became a valued news source and Hannity my investigative reporter of choice. (Go figure.)
I came across a very good post on YouTube, and I have decided to share it here. It presents the thoughts of another messenger that I always avoided like the plaque, but it is factual and clearly points out the duplicity of the Democratic Party’s Presidential Campaign and its newest flip-flop.
Forgive me; the messenger is Rush Limbaugh. (I'm sorry, really sorry. My enemy’s enemy is my friend?) The Halloween tweak to the Obama Tax Plan that Limbaugh shares is a tax increase for those making $120,000 or more presented by none other than the Governor of New Mexico. (I didn’t make a typo; I call it Obama’s Halloween Trick.)
Don’t shoot the messenger, hear Limbaugh (and Gov Bill Richardson) out:
