The ones that are left are nuttier than ever. It's all about God, Guns, and Gays with these people, and they're all busy preparing new litmus tests to separate the sheep from the goats. Their numbers are heading into Know-Nothing or Whig territory.

If their people in Congress succeed in holding up the Obama agenda in hopes of making off-year gains in 2010, I believe that our smart President will be able to tie their obstinacy around their necks like a dead chicken on a bad dog. Then they'll be able to caucus in a phone booth.
