The flight of wealthy Obama voters out of the Democratic Party has begun and the GOP is about to be inundated by money and personalities that hail from a pre-1964 political era. That was when liberals of means knew their interests and acted accordingly. This flight from the Democrats will be augmented by a tide of independents who have just now figured out "what it is."Rockefeller returns and the Snow/Collins/Specter types will soon hold the commanding heights within the party. I fear conservatives within the GOP will be the rump of a rump (the larger rump being the pre-Obama Republicans).
It may be time to take the New York Conservative Party's example national.

The action occurred in Binghamton, N.Y., on Thursday. Need we ask why Rocky was fingered for the job? Courtesy Eicher.)
