This week in the melt down of the conservative movement.
The crowds at the McCain events are going over the edge. The have a spectacular machinery to get their talking points out but the dirty work is supposed to be done by the machine (talk radio/Drudge/Fox/MSM) but they have lost control of the rudder. These crowds are expecting McCain to say the things they hear everyday (like going to see a band do their biggest hit) and when he doesn't they get upset.

Also conservatism is dissolving in front of our eyes. All the bailout and even McCain LATEST economic plan (2 this week) smells of the New Deal. They have served their sponsors well for the last 30 years trying to overturn and erase the memory of the New Deal. Going as far as trying to replace FDR on the dime with Reagan and other nonsense. Now they have no other options than what works and is popular.

They are extraordinarily disciplined, organized, and funded so they won't go down with out a horribly nasty fight. It will be ugliest first towards us, then towards the general public, and then the feasting upon themselves will begin..much like at the end of the 60's/early 70's when they retreated into think tanks and came out with the message that we have been seeing since.

Hold on. Empires, real or imagined, don't end with parades.
