...good night. From Ralph Reed to Pat Buchanan, they're still out practicing their bigoted and backward politics. They still have followers and they still run for office every so often. But less and less are they explicitly shaping the Republican Party's political agenda. When (and if) Strom Thurmond dies, so too will die the old school Republican party. The future is for the George W. Bush Jrs. and Christie Todd Whitmans of America. They are the fiscal conservative, politically moderate Republicans who are taking our nation by storm.

After Mills was through, Strom Thurmond, the old segregationist, came over to congratulate her. Mills' White House office quickly filled up with so many flowers from well wishers that aides joked it looked like a wedding chapel...
...leader of Operation Eagle Eye, described by the Arizona Republic as "a flying squad of G.O.P. lawyers that swept through south Phoenix to question the right of minority voters to cast their ballots." The man who swore Rehnquist in as presiding officer of the trial, South Carolina Republican Strom Thurmond, ran for President in 1948 on the segregationist Dixiecrat ticket.
