McCain to "Destroy GOP?"

•

UPDATE: Denver Post reports that religious leader James Dobson will “boycott” 2008 election if McCain wins the GOP nomination. Another day, another threat from the exalted SpongeDob.

If you tune in to your conservative AM dial like we do now and then, you can’t miss the bile being spewed by hosts at the increasing likelihood that Sen. John McCain will win the Republican nomination for President today.

It’s gotten bad enough that GOP patriarch Bob Dole sent a letter to radio host Rush Limbaugh over the weekend, imploring him to ease off on the apocalyptic “McCain will destroy the Republican Party” rhetoric for the good of, well, the Republican Party.

In response, McCain’s flagging opponent Mitt Romney said of the elder statesman Dole, the GOP’s presidential candidate in 1996, “it’s probably the last person I would have wanted to have write a letter for me.”

Poll follows–will McCain destroy the GOP? If the answer is (as we believe) no, this might be a good opportunity to reflect on who’s willing to destroy what here.
