Estava a ler o artigo sobre o debacle da votacao do “bailout” de Wall Street e o artigo tinha um excerto muito interessante:

“Their mutiny captured just how much the Republican Party has changed from its 19th-century roots as the party of business and economic stewardship. The party’s base has shifted to the more socially conservative and populist South and West, and away from its historic roots in the Northeast, including Wall Street.”
