Can the GOP Re-Brand
by Nicholas Benton
A growing, concerted effort from within high-level party ranks to oust the arch conservative chairman of the Virginia GOP is evidence of what promises to be an unsavory spectacle akin to watching a snake wriggle its way out of an old, dead skin.
There's a lot of violent thrashing about when that happens, and always there's the chance it won't succeed. At least during such times, the snake is particularly helpless in the event a predator is in the neighborhood.
