HAVE THE REPUBLICANS ALREADY GIVEN UP?

If you read Joe Klein's article in Time Magazine you come away (at least I did) with two distinct impressions: 1. The Republicans are a whacky group, and are ready to fall on their sword for the sake of principles, like they did in 1964; 2. The Republicans want to win at all costs, even if it means nominating someone they aren't really happy with (Mitt Romney) because he has the money to wage a battle. I am no fan of Joe Klein, in fact, I find him obnoxious, and this article is just another example of his smugness. The Republican party can stand on principle and they can raise the money to compete with any of the Democrats.
