Jonah Goldberg: Bennett loss a warning to The Establishment
2010-05-13
Excerpt:

The Beltway interpretation is that Bennett fell victim to the growing right-wing "extremism" of the Republican Party, fueled by those Huns, the Tea Partiers.

This is not an altogether crazy interpretation, but it is an insufficient one. It assumes that those who voted him out at the convention were irrational ideologues who cannot grasp their own interests.

Another way of looking at this is that the GOP rank and file are actually serious about what they say and don't use the same scorecard as Beltway denizens.
