If this becomes a trend, however, I'd expect it to be weighted slightly against the Republicans. Stephen Moore's Club for Growth has shown some initial effectiveness against liberal Republicans in the 2000 season. They will most likely pick out a Senate candidate or two for either 2002 or 2004. Jeffords would have been a natural, as are Specter, Chaffee, and McCain. Club for Growth is good news for conservatives, but not necessarily for Republicans. What's interesting, especially if Moore proves to be ahead of a larger trend, would be that any possibility of "Republicrat" convergence of parties will disappear. The Florida fight swept away any pretence that we are in anything but a liberal/conservative war. Even the word "bi-partisan" was co opted by the Clinton propaganda machine to mean "liberal". There's going to be VERY little middle ground over the next decade, as obsolete European-type socialists struggle into their political grave, and the younger-more libertarian-conservatives take control of that movement and the Rep party. Both parties will see turmoil (and already are) as they become much more ideologically disciplined. The party that gets there first could get the next big landslide. Go! Club for Growth!...
