The incredible shrinking party

Recently, on a right-wing website:
Former Senator, TV star and presidential candidate Fred Thompson tells Newsmax that President Barack Obama is revealing his 'naivete, ineptitude and arrogance' as he deals with matters of national security.
I think that says it all about why only 21% of Americans are still willing to identify as Republicans (35% call themselves Democrats and the rest (including the 8% the Republicans lost since October) identify as independents. That's the lowest percent for any party in about 25 years. There was a very interesting discussion of the new numbers for Republicans on the Ed Show on MSNBC tonight. Ed Schultz asks a very important question, If Obama has around 64% approval why not go for single-payer health insurance. Now is the time.
