By now you've probably heard: The GOP is becoming too regional, too white, too old to compete at a national level. Democrats look like a merging of the cast of "Rent" and Up With People, while Republicans look like diehard fans of "Matlock" and "Murder, She Wrote."
Fine, fine. The GOP needs to win over more Hispanics, young people, suburban women. That sounds perfectly plausible. But what does "win over" mean? ...

GOP road sign: Keep Right
Obama quits Senate after 46 months - - 21 of them seeking another job - Los Angeles Times
Just had to post this - simply for the headline...
Ayers Says He Is a 'Family Friend' of Obama
Well look who decides to come out of hiding right after the election...
Ayers Says He Is a 'Family Friend' of Obama

"We knew it was wrong. We knew it was illegal. We knew it was immoral," he said, but the group's members felt they "had to do more" to stop the Vietnam War.
...Despite Obama's attempt to portray their relationship as a distant one, Ayers, in a new afterward to his book "Fugitive Days," describes Obama as a "neighbor and family friend."
...Ayers remained silent during the presidential race, but his proximity to Obama was highlighted on Election Day when the two men nearly ran into each other in the same polling place.
...Obama and Ayers have several connections. The two men have also served on boards together, including the Woods Fund of Chicago and the Chicago Annenberg Challenge.
...Ayers acknowledged that he held a reception in his home when Obama began his political run for state office.
...Ayers defended his bomb-throwing past and repeated a statement that has infuriated his critics: "I don't think we did enough."
...The college professor also argued...that the bombing campaign by the Weather Underground, the group he helped found, was not terrorism.
To all of you who claimed Obama shouldn't be ashamed of his connections to Ayers - you're fine. You're sick, but you're fine.
To all of you that claimed this wasn't true - eat it!
