Republicans See Their Party as Leaderless (They throw Limbaugh, Palin, and McCain under the bus)
Who's in charge here?

Sixty-eight percent (68%) of Republican voters say their party has no clear leader, according to a new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey. Another 17% are undecided.

Just five percent (5%) view either John McCain, the GOP's unsuccessful 2008 presidential candidate, or new party chairman Michael Steele as the party's leader.

Two percent (2%) see conservative radio commentator Rush Limbaugh in that role, and one percent (1%) name McCain's running mate, Alaska Govenror Sarah Palin. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and House Minority Leader John Boehner are each seen as GOP leader by less than one-half of one percent.

Democrats have no question who's in charge. Two-thirds of the party's voters (66%) see President Barack Obama as their leader. Nobody else reaches even the five percent (5%) level.

7. you know they are in serious desperation when their new standard
bearer is a 14 year old kid. (not that teens can't have innovative ideas, far from it, but seriously)


The Sunday NYT article about this young conservative pundit was bizarre.

10. LOL! True, Limbaugh has ballooned to over 300 pounds! Must be the Doritos
or he wants to be the new William Howard Taft.
