A Far Worse Argument

You've probably heard this before, but here it is again. Conservative Ramesh Ponnuru writes in The New York Times that it might help the Republicans to lose big in the upcoming elections.

Sure, it's possible that losing in the short run will help in the long run. Of course, it's also possible--likely, in fact--that losing in the short run will hurt in the long run. No one knows what will happen in a couple years. You win in politics by winning. Any other theory is nuts.

(As to what's good for the people, presumably every party believes they are, so that's not at issue. If you don't believe your party is good for the people, change parties.)
