Great read from Erick Erickson over at Red State:
If money is the root of all evil, for the Republican Party evil is located on the fifth floor of 66 Canal Center Plaza, Alexandria, VA 22314.
Strip away the candidate and coalition and it is on the fifth floor of 66 Canal Center Plaza where the seeds of Mitt Romney’s ruin and the RNC’s get out the vote (GOTV) effort collapsed — bled to death by charlatan consultants making millions off the party, its donors, and the grassroots.
66 Canal Center Plaza is also why Jeff Larson, the Chief of Staff of the Republican National Committee, should not be put in charge of the autopsy of the GOP’s defeat. Multiple sources confirm to me that RNC Chairman Reince Priebus has already put Larson in charge of the so called autopsy.
This is like putting the fox in charge of the hen house. The fifth floor of 66 Canal Center Plaza reveals a tangled web of incestuous relationships among Republican consultants who have made millions all while the GOP went down the tubes. Here the top party consultants waged war with conservative activists and here they waged war with the Democrats. On both fronts, they raked in millions along the way with a more fractured, minority party in their wake. And they show no signs of recognizing just how much a part of the problem they are.

Just read a post on the blogosphere that the GOP will go the way of the Whigs.
Highly possible.
But, who or what will replace them?
The Patriot Party, I hope.
Conservatives vs. the GOP
Republicans in Congress are warned that they will lose their base if they vote for tax hikes.
The battle for control of the GOP between conservatives and establishment/Rockefeller types has been ongoing since the 60′s. If conservatives can’t control or even be treated fairly by the GOP, they need to leave. We don’t have a two party system now, we have one party, the Republicrats.
