The Corner

Obama and the Future of the GOP

Today on Uncommon Knowledge, Andrew Ferguson, author of Land of Lincoln, and Rob Long, Hollywood writer and producer, discuss what Obama means for the GOP. I begin the conversation with an ominous quotation from Shelby Steele:

“Barack Obama’s victory was an ideological defeat for modern conservatism and a devastating blow to the Republican party. This defeat was on the level of ideas. It points to nothing less than a new and still unfolding Obama progressivism.”

Andy’s response?

“There are not such things as devastating blows.”
