<<Thomas has brought into the open internecine warfare posing grave dangers for the Republican Party. A 13-term congressman who is the party boss of Bakersfield, Calif., he represents old-line Republicans who resent Christian conservatives entering their party in 1980 (and giving the GOP parity with Democrats).>> Novak seems to imply that he would expect a split among the Republicans to reinstate the old Democratic primacy and I don't think that's the case. IMO, we could do with a shake-up in both parties and that one would trigger the other. The old strongholds of the Dems are getting a bit long in the tooth and thin. I doubt there's much support for the progressives in that party. I imagine that most Dems are Dems out of habit and out of distaste for the alternative. Some fresh choices might trigger a lot of movement to one or the another Republican faction. I'm for creative destruction of our two political parties at this time. It's one way of fixing the standing hostilities and it offers different home bases to different people.
