Dwindling White Nonurban America

Frank Rich of the New York Times as an excellent piece on the Sarah Palin fiasco. The column is available by clicking on the title of this post. An excerpt:
She is not just the party’s biggest star and most charismatic television performer; she is its only star and charismatic performer. Most important, she stands for a genuine movement: a dwindling white nonurban America that is aflame with grievances and awash in self-pity as the country hurtles into the 21st century and leaves it behind.
Brutal. But right on the mark.
