Rather than keep adding updates to the Monday post about the GOP and the stimulus plan, let me start over by pointing to an article in Mother Jones in which the Governor of Utah says the Republican leadership in Congress is irrelevant...that he doesn't even talk with them! Today's Anniston Star editorializes about Governor Riley's late entry into the "I'll reject the unemployment benefits money" club, comparing it to "the equivalent of worrying that the lifeboat oars will cause splinters while the Titanic is sinking".
All of this has continued relevance to Alabama because the state is in danger of being ground-zero for a party with little national influence. If you can't get the Republican Governor of Utah to be active in your conservative party, you are in deep trouble.
