Zandar's Thought Of The Day

Ruth Marcus, blathering about the GOP in WaPo: (h/t Balloon Juice):

"After the November elections the party was beat back and defenseless," GOP strategist Ed Rollins told me. "I think this allows them to stay unified and will help rebuild their financial base. They at least have a pulse."

Somebody explain to me how the party united against adding 3.5 million jobs to the crumbling economy they created is going to somehow use this to rebuild their financial base.
