Left invokes Jim Greer
Not sure it helps Jim Greer's campaign for RNC chairman, but he got a big shout out in a WaPo op ed piece today by Harold Meyerson:
"The election has left the Republican Party reeling, its base shrunk to those Southern, Plains and Mountain West states where rural cultures still predominate. The party's smarter strategists are arguing that the worldviews of the social conservatives and free-market extremists who dominate the GOP are either irrelevant or ridiculous to voters in the middle of the political spectrum. "We can't be obsessed with issues that are not the issues that are important to American voters," Jim Greer, chairman of the Florida GOP, told the New York Times."

From the writers of the St. Petersburg Times, The Buzz offers the latest news in Florida politics. This is a public forum sponsored and maintained by the St. Petersburg Times. When you post comments here, what you say becomes public and could appear in the newspaper. You are not engaging in private communication with candidates or Times staffers.
SO, Republicans are just a bunch of "rural" "free-market extremists?" I take that as a compliment and believe it is very telling that liberals see it as an insult ...

I think Greer is right. FYI, I am not an employee of RPOF as is usually the case when he gets praised in these parts.
