A Doug Hoffman Win Will Be a Bad Thing For the GOP

Read Frank Rich for the complicated version but my take on the NY-23 district race is simple: The GOP initially endorsed a candidate who could appeal to Independents and to moderate Republicans. Their most radical members — Palin, Pawlenty, et. al. — endorse a different candidate — one who panders to “the folks” who think W. was a great guy and who think Fox “News” is news. The 27%’ers.
Fast forward and the candidate who might appeal to Independents and moderates is squeezed out. The Palin wing wins.
So this is the GOP’s long-term strategy? Appeal to the 27%’ers? Who wins elections on a margin like that?
I’m gonna love watching you guys self-destruct.
