Taking Up the Limbaugh Challenge

Today, Rush Limbaugh challenged the mainstream media to start speculating about how the Republicans could make a comeback.

But I've beaten him to the punch.

As I said yesterday, the key to any Republican comeback is understanding that the Republicans are a natural minority. If they are going to make a comeback, the Republicans have to create appealing new wedge successors to gay marriage, keep feeding red meat to the right-wing attack media, and raise obscene amounts of money to keep their smear campaigns going.

Otherwise, the right-wing political machine might fall apart, leaving the Republicans scrambling to maintain their viability as an opposition party.
