Republicans in trouble

Justin Webb | 20:24 UK time, Friday, 13 June 2008

Laughs aside, the platform of the Texas Republicans as revealed by one of the Lone Star State's finest political reporters, leaves no doubt about where the zeitgeist is not in 2008.

None of this stuff - intelligent design and abortion and gay marriage, let alone banning nudies in DC art galleries - sings in 2008.

A party with these folks at its heart is a party in trouble. And so is a party with going into the election.

The Republicans might tell themselves, reasonably, that McCain can win and might win, but it cannot happen by magic or by default or , and the issue that we will look back on as his ticket to the White House (Iraq? Gas Prices? Healthcare?) is not clear to me at the moment...
