The extreme religious right has taken over their party

History will name them the Obama/Biden republicans.

I believe the results of this election will be of the level of the Johnson/Goldwater election

We are going to win in a much bigger way than anyone can imagine

1. Did you see Ben Stein's rant on the subject from yesterday.

And he isn't what I would call "moderate".

6. Another post here on DU
had the link to the video. I think the comments were made on CNN but I won't swear to it. Perhaps some other DUer has seen this video and will repost the link?

2. agreed.....
and if Obama starts to tack (more) to the center to get them, fine. Win first, then govern according to your philosophy.

4. I wish Barry Goldwater could come back and see what he
has wrought.

Barry was no Pentecostal. But he is the one who defended extemism in his famous speech in 1964. "Extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice. Moderation ... is no virtue."
