David Brooks On The NewsHour Last Night


Noted: If you aren't watching the NewsHour's 15 minute Political Wrap every Friday well, you ain't living.

In any event, last night David Brooks said this about the Republican Party (and Team McCain):

We know it does not work. We've seen it fail in these congressional elections we've just had. We saw it fail in 2006. It will fail, it will fail, it will fail.
We absolutely agree.

Or, to put it another way (as we wrote back in July of '07) - In 2008, George W. Bush trumps Teddy Kennedy. And not in a good way for Republicans.
