The Republicans really took it on the chin yesterday. Lost both houses of congress. Along with some weak links, some very good people got tossed on their cans as well. It's probably just as well, since the Republicans were governing much like the democrats anyway...spending out the waazu and doing very little to curb the illegal immigration problem.
I see no obvious leader for the Republican party. We need someone who can articulate a conservative agenda, someone who isn't afraid to stand up to the leftists in the democrat party and the MSM, and someone who had the communications skills to defend his agenda. Dubya certainly hasn't been that person. His speach to the Nation shortly after 9/11 was the only time he seemed to be able to pull things together. Although I'm sure he's a smart guy, he really does come across as somewhat dimwitted. John McCain is not the guy. He's way to "moderate" for any conservative leaning person. He is a bit more articulate than Dubya, but I believe he's prone to coming unglued when really pressed. A little of that is good, but I think he's a bit much. Not sure about Mitt Rommey. He might be good, but his Mormon background will certainly be used against him.
I believe the party needs to move to the right. That seems to be what works well.
