No One Asked Us, But...
So far, the RNC hasn't asked for our assessment of yesterday's electoral defeat. Not that we expect it; from what we hear, the jockeying and back-biting has already begun; more urgent tasks--including a critical analysis of what went wrong and what should be done to re-build the party--will have to wait. Toward that latter goal, we humbly offer our take on John McCain's defeat, and where the party should go from here. The good news is that conservatism is far from finished; in fact, where it actually appeared on the ballot, it flourished. Voters in California, Arizona and Florida approved referendums that banned gay marriage. That's right, a majority in California, arguably the most liberal state in the nation, rebuked liberal judges who had flaunted state law, and allowed gay couples to tie the knot. Did we mention that the leaders of Proposition 8 were mostly church pastors and other grass roots organizers? Or that supporters of gay marriage (including Hollywood) spent millions against the initiative? In the bluest of states, conservatives took on the liberal establishment and won.
