Back up here for a minute. I think the discussion about whether to purge people from the party is about something deeper and more important.
Parties need leaders. Our major problem right now is absolutely no leadership. The first thing the netroots on the Right needs to do is purge the existing leadership, such as it is, in the House and the Senate. That is different than purging vast swaths of the base.
I also think purging the leadership - insisting that it step down - is absolutely necessary and a task we will all be discussing at great length next week at this time. Boehner, Blunt and McConnell definitely need to go based on bad results alone. They keep losing. It's not a matter of their ideological purity. We really need to make sure they are gone.
Can everyone agree on this?
Don't presume this is a sure thing. The leadership purge should have been made after 2006, but DC Republicans remained tone deaf.
The netroots needs to focus its anger very quckly on these guys in the fallout - not McCain or Palin. They will be irrelevant at that point. We need to fight for leadership of the party. Take aim on these guys and their underlings.
