The Fall of the Republican Party more similar news »
The Economist says the Republican party "lost the battle of ideas even more comprehensively than they lost the battle for educated votes, marching into the election armed with nothing more than slogans..."
"Republicanism's anti-intellectual turn is devastating for its future. The party's electoral success from 1980 onwards was driven by its ability to link brains with brawn. The conservative intelligentsia not only helped to craft a message that resonated with working-class Democrats, a message that emphasised entrepreneurialism, law and order, and American pride. It also provided the party with a sweeping policy agenda. The party's loss of brains leaves it rudderless, without a compelling agenda."

Analysis Put yourself in these hypothetical shoes for a moment. My goal is to make as much money as possible by doing as little work as possible. I have no creative talent except for generating and recycling marketing buzzwords. I have no technical knowledge or ability - but I can get my head around a Twitter feed.

Senate Republicans in a Funk more similar news »
"Down to 42 seats with two still at risk, Senate Republicans are in a
deep funk," Politico reports.
"Some are in denial. Some want a return to conservative
principles. Some want to cut deals. Some want more filibusters. Others want to jump out a window -- but they're afraid they'd screw that up, too."
The reality: "Two years ago, the Republicans held a 55-45 majority. They're down 13
seats since then, with a too-close-to-call race in Minnesota and a
runoff in Georgia still to come."

Clinton Weighing Decision more similar news »
Associates of Sen. Hillary Clinton and her husband say she "is weighing whether to leave the Senate and become secretary of state, believing the job is hers if she wants it," according to the Associated Press.
"Clinton has been told that Obama wants her to be secretary of state, although accounts differ on how bluntly and directly Obama made the overture."
Meanwhile, the New York Times reports "aides in each camp have grown increasingly sour toward the other" and some think "strategic leaks by the Clintons" are aimed at boxing in Obama and "forcing him to offer the post."

John McCain to Jackson Browne: You're Welcome more similar news »
John McCain has two words for Jackson Browne: You're welcome. That's the gist of a response to Browne's lawsuit that the McCain campaign's sampling of his classic (or, as they put it, "long-ago published") "Running on Empty" implied that the famously lefty singer-songwriter was endorsing the maverick but nevertheless Republican presidential candidate.

Logitech Squeezebox Boom wireless music player more similar news »
Small box, very big sound
Review Logitech's Squeezebox Duet network music player doesn't really have any faults but if you absolutely had to come up with an Achilles' Heel it would be the need for an amplified stereo system for it to play through. Not an issue if you only want music in one room, but more of a problem if you want tunes all around the house.…

If they're not ranting, they're bumbling
Comment The times, they may be changing on the internet, but if our Parliament has anything to do with it, that change is unlikely to be for the better. The problem is that far too many MPs not only don’t get it when it comes to the net, they actively bask in their ignorance of new technology.…
