"The Republican Party has a platform that can't prevail in democratic competition. [...] When highly committed parties strongly believe [in] things that they cannot achieve democratically, they don't give up on their beliefs -- they give up on democracy.
"As the outlook for conservatives and Republicans becomes more bleak, they're going to face a choice: Either they accommodate some of the changes that are happening to American society, like universal heath coverage, or else they're going to have to face up to the fact that what they believe can't be achieved if everybody votes."
