THE SHOT (NOT YET) HEARD AROUND THE WORLD

Republican Sarah Palin endorsed Conservative Party candidate Doug Hoffmann in the New York 23rd district Concressional Race over Republican Republican nominee Dede Scozzafava. In her endorsement, Palin wrote:

Political parties must stand for something. When Republicans were in the wilderness in the late 1970s, Ronald Reagan knew that the doctrine of "blurring the lines" between parties was not an appropriate way to win elections.

That’s a clear shot across the bow of the Republican ship of state. If the Republican Party doesn’t get its act together soon and start acting like a conservative party, it will soon go the way of the dodo – and deservedly so.
