Swan songs for the Rs?

As I speculated last Thursday the Washington Post suggests Katrina Darkens the Outlook for Incumbents.

I have often predicted that political pendulum is near the end of its conservative swing. Now it appears that gas prices, the War in Iraq and Hurricane Katrina will provide the catalyst for significant changes in Washington D.C.

While I, unfortunately, don't think the NLP is ready to assume the lead, I do think, with the right ideas and rhetoric, there is an opening for more libertarian ideas in the wake of the neoconservative crash.
