"One poll result framed the problem perfectly: American voters overall, by a margin of almost two-to-one, want Republicans to work with Obama — but Republican voters want them to continue fighting the President … by the same two-to-one margin."
If that attitude persists, the Republians will continue to lose elections: there are more Americans who want some level of cooperation and compromise than there are Republicans who are ideologues who refuse to agree to anything practical in the name of "purity".
Re: “Turning on a dime: The "new" Bobby Jindal”
If Jindal starts getting serious national attention, this column should be sent to every media outlet around, to ask some very pointed questions about his hypocrisy and manipulation.
Then watch the tsunami of words from Jindal...his favorite evasion which good, persistent reporters will see right through.
Really good column, Stephanie. Agree with Joel that you pulled together all his actions and tactics to be seen.
