I know I'm just a humble blogger, but while many pundits a year or so ago were predicting that the Republicans would have a loud and nasty divorce, I knew they were all wrong. The organizing principle of the Republican party and movement conservatism over the past 8 years, other than pissing off liberals, was rallying in support of and defending whatever the hell George Bush was doing that week. Going forward, they just
don't know else to do. Such habits die hard.
