"Why The Republicans Must Lose"

Sullivan spots Randy Balko's piece.

To think that McCain would do anything differently, would try to turn around the massive government that Bush built, would undo the massive "socialistic nationalization" of the financial industry, is just insane.

Money quote:
If they do lose, the GOP would be wise to regroup and rebuild from scratch, scrap the current leadership, and, most importantly, purge the party of the "national greatness," neoconservative influence. Big-government conservatism has bloated the federal government, bogged us down in what will ultimately be a trillion-dollar war, and set us down the road to European-style socialism. It's hard to think of how Obama could be worse. He'll just be bad in different ways.
I don't think Obama would be any more effective than Bush at reining in spending, or even dramatically raise revenue. He'll simply be a better, more effective world leader than the tired old man.
