With Arlen Specter switching parties, it has become quite clear that Karl Rove's dream of a permanent GOP majority is disappearing faster than the polar ice caps. Claims that Specter was a turncoat who was purged from the GOP for the sake of party purity suggest a debacle-in-the-making for the Republican party.
Comparing the meltdown of the GOP's electoral prowess, built up over three decades, with the visible effects of global warming on eons-old polar ice seems apropos. Both threaten turmoil; yet both continue apace to the accompaniment of a steady stream of denials of their very existence emanating from the The Party of No.
If the GOPs tack to the rabid-right fringe of the political spectrum (AKA its "base") continues, it won't be long before the remnant of Rove's aspirations will most closely resemble a lone, recalcitrant, soot-covered snowball in Hell.
Let the carping begin.
