republican purge trials



The Washington Post is reporting that Mitt Romney "won" a straw poll at the Conservative Political Action Conference (35% to 34%) over John McCain. It is amusing to see Republicans engaged in identity politics. It will be interesting to see if McCain tries to pass the "true conservative" litmus test. If he doesn't, perhaps we'll remember 2008 as the year of the Great Purges, with Limbaugh and Dobson competing to become the American Vyshinsky.
