The boss of the incredible shrinking Republican Party, Rush Limbaugh, invited Colin Powell to hit the road. "What Colin Powell needs to do is close the loop and become a Democrat, instead of claiming to be a Republican interested in reforming the Republican Party. He's not. He's a full-fledged Democrat," Limbaugh said. Even I'm starting to cringe at the woeful state of the Republican Party. This is such a selfish mov3e by Limbaugh. It clearly benefits Democrats, Limbaugh and maybe even Powell at the expense of the what's left of the Republican Party.
Meanwhile, the Democrats are managing to look less divided than they actually are. President Obama's most brilliant move as a politician was to gravitate to the center of his own, suddenly bloated, party. His politics truly are the politics of bipartisanship, but it's the bi-partisanship of the DLC and the progressive caucus. By putting the center there, he has reinstated the true center of American politics. I will not be surprised if the Democratic Party splits when the unifying force of his presidency is removed.
Then the era of the Bull Moose begins, anew.
