The Death of Conservatism Was Greatly Exaggerated - WSJ.com
And NOW, how are these predictions sounding?...
In the Wall Street Journal, Peter Berkowitz reminds us of this:
"In late October 2008, New Yorker staff writer George Packer reported 'the complete collapse of the four-decade project that brought conservatism to power in America.' Two weeks later, the day after Mr. Obama's election, Washington Post columnist E.J. Dionne proclaimed 'the end of a conservative era' that had begun with the rise of Ronald Reagan.
And in February 2009, New York Times Book Review and Week in Review editor Sam Tanenhaus, writing in The New Republic, declared that 'movement conservatism is exhausted and quite possibly dead.'"
