Polarization or Remaking the Right?

After I saw the Mad As Hell post, I thought about a snippet I heard on NPR today. Journalist David Weigel knows his stuff and you can listen too.

Is the conservative right undergoing a transformation? Journalist David Weigel thinks so. Weigel covers the Republican party for the online magazine The Washington Independent,where he's written about tea party protests, anti-health care activists, the "birther" movement and the recent Values Voter summit.

Weigel formerly covered national politics for the libertarian magazine Reason. He's also written for Slate, Time.com and The Nation.
