RETURN OF THE WHIGS? Reader Brian Staley writes:

I couldn’t help but notice your note about going the way of the Whigs. You may not be aware, but some veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan refounded the Whigs last year as the Modern Whig Party.

Since then, we have attracted members from the Democratic, Republican, and Libertarian parties. We currently have nearly 30,000 members. We try to be practical about politics and are generally open on social issues and prudent on fiscal issues.

I stand corrected.
