But seriously, I think there is a change brewing in the party, a “downsizing” as it were. Part of the problem of any party that has a “majority” is how to maintain that numerical advantage. The result is the devaluation of the “brand” of that party, as well as its party name. Another part of the problem is the presence of a strong leader who may not be in accord with the true “brand” of the party. This takes the party “off message” and it requires a bit of time to find the message again that they always had from the beginning.
Finally the loss of any leader from the top, good or bad, causes a leadership vacuum that takes a while for any party to sort out. Everyone who wants to “lead” has their own unique spin and agenda.
This is really true for either party in various times throughout history. I think it’s going to be impossible to find a clear leader on the national level for at least a year. Note that people often confuse the visionaries and the prophets of the party with leaders. I think we can safely say that moveon.org was never a Democratic “leader” but it did set the agenda during the Bush presidency as Limbaugh seems to be doing for the Republican agenda under Obama.
“Leadership” is the one who quietly makes it possible for every opposing party congressman to be challenged by a strong candidate with a good chance of success. Is there leadership in the Republican Party? We will have to find out.
