Cleaning house

Ann Coulter says, "After showing nearly superhuman restraint throughout this campaign, which was lost the night McCain won the California primary, I am now liberated to announce that all I care about is hunting down and punishing every Republican who voted for McCain in the primaries. I have a list and am prepared to produce the names of every person who told me he was voting for McCain to the proper authorities. We'll start with former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani, California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and Florida Gov. Charlie Crist. Then we shall march through the states of New Hampshire and South Carolina -- states that must never, ever be allowed to hold early Republican primaries again."

This is the kind of specific, concrete, naming names type of discourse we need right now. And it must go way beyong Ann Coulter. I am waiting to see who will name names, who will call a RINO a RINO. BTW, in her current column she absolutely nails why I never liked John McCain and why we will all probably grow to, as Brian said, hate him again.

My concern about Michael Steele is that he may be too nice. I remember when Clinton would not let PA Governor Bob Casey speak at the Democratic Convention in 1996. Clinton had staked out some political territory and he was not about to let anyone who stood on different ground have a voice. Would Michael Steele have the guts to tell Rudy, "I know you're a national hero, but you can't speak because you're on the wrong side of the abortion issue." Would he have the guts to tell Romney, "I know you're smart and good looking, but you can't speak because you instituted a Marxist health insurance plan in Massachusetts." You know, we need someone who will turn his back on pretty near every one of the candidates from this past primary campaign.
