Brooks: McCain’s Problem — GOP Unfit to Govern

June 6, 2008

New York Times columnist David Brooks, fresh off the Applebee’s fiasco, actually got one right for a change.

McCain’s problem is that his party is unfit to govern. As research from the Republican pollster David Winston has shown, any policy becomes less popular when people learn that Republicans are supporting it. If the G.O.P. sponsored the sunrise, voters would prefer gloom. Many Republicans are under the illusion that they are in trouble because they’ve betrayed their core principles. The sad truth is that if they’d been more conservative, they’d be even further behind. [emphasis added]
