Barack Obama is now the undisputed leader of the Democratic Party. But now that John McCain has been defeated, it is unclear who is at the helm of the Republican ship. George Bush is toxic, congressional leadership roles are looking pretty shaky, and the jockeying for 2012 is off to a fast start. In politics, perception is everything, so. . .

Our New Approach to Comments
In an effort to encourage the same level of civil dialogue among Politics Daily’s readers that we expect of our writers –
a “civilogue,” to use the term coined by PD’s Jeffrey Weiss – we are requiring commenters to use their AOL or AIM screen names to submit a comment, and we are reading all comments before publishing them. Personal attacks (on writers, other readers, Nancy Pelosi, George W. Bush, or anyone at all) and comments that are not productive additions to the conversation will not be published, period, to make room for a discussion among those with ideas to kick around.
