The socialism for the wealthy Republican Party needs to get the hell out of town.
Sarah Palin is the old Republican Party that was mortally wounded yesterday. She needs to disappear from the political scene and stick to shooting moose.
McCain, the old John McCain that spoke so eloquently last night, needs to lead a new Republican Party that will work shoulder to shoulder with the new administration to solve our nation's problems in the best way possible for everyone - not just for the superrich.
I think the naysayers will find that Barak Obama is much more a centrist and consensus finder than the half-truths of this campaign were screaming about.

It appears to me that Sarah Palin represents a narrowing of the Republican party that is going to continue for some time.
In regards to the 'talk radio' wing of the party I believe they have lost much of their voice due to Bush. Over and over again the talk radio folks speak to Carl Roves strategy of turning out the base plus 1% (the idea is that the conservative base is all you really need to win an election). If turnout was low and Obama had won then that may be the case, but it wasn't. Instead huge numbers voted for both Obama and McCain. The base was there but it wasn't enough. The independents really do matter.
If Ted Stephens actually wins reelection in the Senate (which looks quite possible) he most surely will be thrown out. This will lead to another election in which Palin is most likely to go for the job. Four years in the Senate and two as a Governer will put here in range for 2012. I think the republicans are going to give one last try to the 'culture war' strategy, most likely with her. If it fails in 2012 the more moderate republicans may eventually begin to take the party in a new direction. One thing is for sure, the Gingrich revolution is officially over.
