There's something refreshing about seeing the national Republican Party in such disarray as the presidential primary lurches from one state to the next. Republicans used to march as one, or so it seemed, and Democrats spawned rebels, sabotaging themselves in one election after another.
The Republican Party leaders, whoever they are, don't seem to have much control over the regular folks, and issues like gay marriage and abortion (masquerading as contraception) keep getting in the way. It's as if the Republicans have their own version of Viet Nam, fracturing a once unified group.
I hope eventually they evolve into a more reasonable party as we need thoughtful, informed leadership from different perspectives. In the meantime, I'm glad it's not us. Divisiveness gets old and feels immature.
And it's sort of fun to watch.
