Recently the right has spent a lot of time squabbling with itself. The issues that dominated Bush's second term - government failure in New Orleans and Iraq, immigration and globalization, increased government spending - caused the internal bellyache. And the problematics of John McCain's presidential candidacy - the fight over his conservatism and his vice presidential nominee in particular - only made things worse. But today Bush is gone and McCain is back in the Senate. Obama is in charge. And his vision of government has rallied the right. Forget the kerfuffle between Michael Steele and Rush Limbaugh. The fact is that, right now, Steele, Limbaugh, David Brooks, Christopher Buckley, Mike Murphy, and other center-right figures have more in common than not. They share a skepticism of or disappointment in Obama that borders on (or spills over into) outright opposition. And it's reasonable to assume that, as time goes on, the opposition will only grow. Barack Obama is about to accomplish what Bush's second term and McCain's candidacy could not. He's about to reconstitute the right.
