Perhaps the libertarians and the greens could learn a little something from Bruce Bartlett's analysis of the historical shift of the balance of power from Democrats to Republicans.

Although I can't believe Bartlett is as enthusiastic as he sounds about the fact that Republicans basically have no principles at all at this point, his analysis of the need for "party people" and ideologues to form a big-tent within any successful political party is spot-on and in accordance with Carl Milsted's repeated calls for a moderate, eco-friendly third political party.
