Extreme political groups (on both sides) will fade away into obscurity. They are socially destructive, politically irrelevant, and a speed bump to progress.

The Republican primary fight that didn't happen in the first months of 2008, may be unfolding now. As they begin to regroup, the GOP finds itself lacking leadership, vision or new constituencies.

You buy stocks when they're low. Basically, it's wise to get a bargain when a bargain's to be gotten. So, is now the time to "buy" Republican?

It's interesting that at a time when the Republican Party is facing its most bitter internal battles, Nagourney chooses to ignore that story and jumps head first into "analyzing" non-existent antagonisms among Democrats.

Even when I supported Hillary, I always liked Barack Obama -- especially his wry sense of humor, born of his being an outsider as a kid, I think, which I can relate to.

If we are serious about moving the US into a post-partisan, or at least a less partisan, phase, it is neither fair, reasonable nor wise to place all the burden of doing this on the president-elect.

The Republicans overall now are hideous in matters of defense and foreign policy. Encouraging their perceived supremacy in those topics is a very bad idea for the country.

On the critical issue of government's role, Democrats do not have a mandate. Rather, they have a chance to make their case.
Joseph A. Palermo | Posted 11.10.2008 | Politics
The Republicans must always blame the liberal media for any and all bad publicity their nominee, hopefully Sarah Palin, might receive. This is a winner because it reminds voters who the real enemies are.

Obama's honeymoon will be brief. He faces the extraordinary challenge of dealing with a nation that has plunged into bankruptcy and exported financial crises around the globe.

3. Stop being so partisan. Some things (global warming, supporting the troops) are black and white, not red or blue.

There's talk on conservative radio that Obama earned no mandate. Obama, now with 364 electoral votes, would have won even without his giant prizes of Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Florida.
