The Republican party right now is largely bonkers. The Democratic party is a lily-livered hackfest of mediocrity. I remain of the view that Obama is the best thing going for this country. But between the insanity on the right and incoherence on the left, he is marooned in a lonely center. Maybe in the long run, this is a better place to be. Right now it is making governance close to impossible, at a moment when we need all hands on deck.
The Republicans have to be who they are - their ideology is dangerous, and their constituency is nuts. But Democrats don't have to be this way. The self-destructive behavior of the "progressive" wing is going to sink the ship before it can even get into open waters. Stupid, stupid, stupid.
