… In my own party. As y’all know (because you read me religiously, so to speak), I’m a great supporter of science, including evolution and Darwin and all that good stuff. I’m even a reasonably good birder, when I can haul my a$$ out of bed early enough to see the little fluffy things at their breakfast. But how well do I fit in with my chosen party?
Remains to be seen, I guess…

Alas, the Republican party has changed, since at least the time of Reagan (although there have been some political oscillations since then). The GOP has become a party dominated by the modern conservative movement. And these moderates, while still willing to call themselves Republicans, have been increasingly marginalized–the saga of Christie Todd Whitman’s conflicts with the Bush administration being only the most prominent example.
I just don’t know whether there’s any serious prospect of the moderates retaking the reins of their party.
