What happens to the Republicans in 2008 will likely be dictated by what didn’t happen in 2005, and ‘06, and ‘07. The moment when the party could have broken, on principle, with the administration – over the thinking behind and the carrying out of the war, over immigration, spending and the size of government – has passed. What two years ago would have been honorable and wise will now look craven. They’re stuck.
— This is a quote from Peggy Noonan. The same Peggy Noonan who was Ronald Reagan’s and George H.W. Bush’s speech writer and who helped “save” the re-election campaign of George W. Bush in 2004. Source: Declarations - WSJ.com
