Some interesting dish in the UL this morning about Republicans trying to figure out what’s gone wrong and how to fix it. Interesting tidbits for anybody who’s interested in the internal machinations of the party. But what struck me most about the article was the catty comment by Fergus Cullen posted at the end:

I’ve been meaning to re-register as an independent (or undeclared as it’s called here in New Hampshire) for a while.
