How's this for a bittersweet birthday present: Susan Eisenhower is now an independent.
Among other things, it's a nail in the coffin of the Republican party, and a signal that Senator McCain has failed in whatever attempt he made (or didn't make) to salvage a party which lurches onward, with its terminal cancer, toward its fate.
The operative quote is here:
As an independent I want to be free of the constraints and burdens that have come with trying to make my own views explainable in the context of today.s party. Hijacked by a relatively small few, the GOP of today bears no resemblance to Lincoln, Roosevelt or Eisenhower.s party, or many of the other Republican administrations that came after.
