The Party of Racial Backlash
Krugman has an interesting editorial today on the GOP's strategy for the past 40 years. I agree with him that overall, the GOP has symbolized a "good ole boy" network, in which very few minorities were given top spots. But Bush changed some of that with his appointments, although the party lost many of them under McCain (like Colin Powell).

I won't call them racist but when Bush was president, I'd call them overspenders and neo-cons.
