Let's Read Blogs During the Week

Being less productive tonight. A very good and thoughtful post over at the Next Right (I only read conservative blogs to impress certain people). Money quote:

Put another way, Republicans thrive as the party of normal Americans -- the people in the middle culturally and economically. This is true of our leadership as well -- we have a history of nominating figures who came first from outside politics. Our base is the common-sense voter in the middle who bought a house she could afford and didn't lavishly overspend in good times and who is now subsidizing the person who didn't.
