In Soberness: Michael, Joe TNP, Sarah, Bobby, Michele

In soberness, PerchedEye is keenly observing the quintet icons of the current GOP. Comical as they might appear to some (DEMS and sane people), they do represent what is happening right now in the GOP. They catch attention. Are they truly leaders, or are they "just" leaping, grinning,cheerleaders at a time when GOP has lost a lot of ground? Whatever symbolism one attaches to them, the quintet are reaching out, sometimes "out there" to far and strange shores, but neverthless reaching out at a time when "traditional" GOP leadership seems paralyzed, lost, missing or just stunned.

What we seem to see is change-process, which in GOP style can take the form of awkward disjointed steps like a put-together Frankenstein trying to coordinate unfamiliar body parts that haven't met before. But be careful, DEMS, the quintet is morphing the GOP base. Are these guys serious? PerchedEye personally feels they have to be laughing at themselves, but the fact is they are loose, energetic and the base is swinging right into line. Perchedeye feels the quintet will not survive the long haul to 2010 but they will have helped the GOP to transform itself to.... something different.
