Ed Rollins weighs in

Ed Rollins was one of the smartest political operatives in the Reagan White House. I remember wishing that the 1980's Democratic Party had someone like him. In an article on CNN.com today, Rollins suggests why it is too early to consider the GOP dead and gone. His take on Cheney's future in the party is well worth considering.

In his suggestion that the party return to its core principles, however, I do detect just a whiff of hypocrisy. To return to its historic beliefs it would have to eschew its tilt toward the religious right, a path it took during his years as a GOP operative.
