Obama a 'Radical'? Get Real - Micheal Medved

Too late, Mike. The base has been sold on this and it's really all they will accept. I'd love it (love it) if yours was the dominant narrative of the Republican party, but its not. As long as Palin (among others) is embraced at arms length, simply because it "drives liberals nuts", even though they despise her ideas and, er, her, this narrative is dead in the water.

The minute Obama is humanized, you're lost. The alternatives that have been submitted are so wacky, that to go back now would almost be a bridge too far. The Tea Party movement, whether or not you agreed with it, was based on voter outrage. Outrage at a number of things, some of them a bit unsavory but perhaps that's another post. The point is that the Republicans crept aboard a tiger, and now they are committed to where it wants to go, not them. To get off now is to be devoured.
