Pre-Emptive Throw-Over

Digby mentioned Roy Blunt’s comments, but he also said something else.

REP. ROY BLUNT: Clearly, yesterday, his position on that discussion yesterday was one that stopped a deal from finalizing.

Republicans certainly want to reconstitute their party, but I don’t think they want to do it with John McCain at the helm. We’re starting to see rumblings from conservatives feeling uneasy about Sarah Palin and even calling for her to be dropped from the ticket. In many ways they’d be thrilled with McCain voting the other way on this. Republicans are BETTER in the opposition, and it would be a cleaner way for them to reconstitute themselves.
