Speaking with one of my close friends today, who unfortunately is a Log Cabin Republican, he kept telling me how great the Republican party is doing… how many victories they've had post-election. 

He said the GOP is “recovering well”.

At first I thought he was crazy.. then I sat and thought about it.

In search and rescue missions, there's two “modes” to the search and rescue.

There's rescue, in which the primary goal is to save life.

And recovery, in which all hopes of life are believed to be gone, and they attempt to salvage the wreckage.

The GOP is definately in recovery.
