Death of the left
Michael Ledeen writes an epitaph for the left, on NRO. While I agree with his analysis, and would even add more to it, principally the impact of the internet and other technologies which are fragmenting and democratizing the media, formerly a bulwark of the left, I am not quite ready to share in his triumphalism. Perhaps I am just having a cranky day, for I have let my hopes bloom earlier, and do agree that the decline is inevitable.
