Now Here's A Novel Idea

Ed at Hot Air cites a recent Rasmussen poll and offers one of his own to ask, who leads the Republican Party? For now, the obvious answer is, who knows?

Is that really such a bad thing?

The current lack of a single clearly defined leader for the minority party while a grass roots effort that will most logically find it's eventual political expression through an out of power GOP presents a tremendous opportunity for the very people our nation's politics is supposed to represent.

Where the Tea Party movement ends up remains unclear, as does who, if anyone, currently leads the GOP. I doubt every Tea Party member envisions an end to their efforts in something every current member of the GOP is going to love. That need not be a bad thing and there will be compromises all around and along the way if anything is going to come of this at all.

For now, I'd rather see any prospective new leadership, if not actual leader for the GOP, assembling in the streets and parks of America, than gathering in some back room somewhere deciding who is going to tell the people what their choices will or won't be come 2010.

So, who leads the GOP? For now and at least to some degree, you can, if you want to step up.

just had my first taste of the obama admin...

cigarettes go up 90cents a pack, or 9.00 a carton in April. Altria just decided to do it a month early...
(somehow I doubt they are doing it just to give the revenue over to the govt. They figured since the price was going up sooner or later, they could cash in on 'sooner'.)

thanks, philip morris.

RJR will jack their price of kools in April, and for the first time, obama will be butting heads with a very large part of his constituency. Anxiously awaiting obama tell angered minorities that they shouldn't smoke.

I buying my online tobacco seeds as we speak. I'll never pay taxes on smoking again.

Don't worry. The actual leaders for the GOP are indeed "assembling in the streets and parks of America."

They're just doing it after dark and in the bushes.

I'll take being leaderless when you compare that to the Democrats being owned and run by George Soros!

And Mark perhaps now would be the time to kick the habit. Two things,

1. It would deny Xerxes his "tax offering" to support his socialist conversion.
2. I work in Radiation Oncology and see the impact of smoking everyday. It's a horrible disease that can be prevented. A lung cancer diagnosis is almost as bad as Teddy's Glio, an almost certain death sentence and a horrible way to go.

Just saying!
