I had lunch with my old law professor and his wife who was a classmate of mine at law school.  They are both brilliant people, and they’re what I call “Country Club Republicans”.  Socially liberal — pro-choice, indifferent to gays, not religious.  It’s all about money for them.

But this current field of Republicans has backed them to the wall.  They declared they have never been “single issue voters”, but this year if the Republican nominee denies evolution or climate change — basically rejects science they will vote for President Obama.

I wonder how many other well educated, moderate Republicans are looking at this line up, and wondering what happened to their party?  For perspective do check out this essay by Mike Lofgren if you don’t think the GOP has changed.
