Decent political analysis from John Heilemann, marred only by the author’s apparent belief that appealing to him is the key to building a national political majority. His concluding line: “Charismatic, candid, and all too human, they create the impression, however illusory, that the Republican Party actually was a big tent and might, just might, be a big tent again.” Actually, the tent has more governors, congressmen, and voters than ever.
