In taking down Mitt Romney this morning, David Brooks had a good line that I hope is true.
As Walter Mondale was the last gasp of the fading New Deal coalition, Romney has turned himself into the last gasp of the Reagan coalition.
Actually, I don’t care if Romney is the last gasp, or Huckabee, or McCain, or Thompson…just so long as it is the last gasp of the Reagan coalition.
Brooks’ overall point was that the Mittster is totally, irredeemably unelectable in November and so GOP caucus goers should look elsewhere (wink…wink…McCain…nudge…nudge). It’s actually pretty good advice.
