“The Democratic Party’s attitude to elections is admirable: Win. And recent history has shown it will do anything to do so.

“When, if not now, will Republicans develop such a fighting spirit?…

“In this day of dwindling Republican appeal, the party’s ace in the hole is heard at the end of the polling day: ‘Have they counted the overseas military vote yet?’ It’s amazing Republicans ever win.

“Most disturbing, Republicans seem to think Democrats can be their friends…  There is no bipartisanship that doesn’t end in Republicans acquiescing in defeat of their core principles. A coordinated Democratic campaign against mainstream middle-of-the-road Republicanism is here to stay. And our strategy, as best as I can decipher it, is to be more liked than the last go around.”
