Anyone who wants to get an idea of how tough a job Mr Steele has ahead of him should go the Gallup Poll website and check out their report on party orientation.In this article Ms Rubin has 7 ideas for Mr Steele (why not 8 or 9 ?).Let’s see…. #1 – Steele/Kaine debates: Why would Kaine want to do this ? #2 – Call in Romney to turn RNC around: This is Mr Steele’s job, if he can’t do it, he should get out . #3 – Call in Newt Gingrich and have him find next 10 great conservative ideas: I think Mr Gingrich is pretty busy trying to figure out who he wants to be married to next. Plus, if you check your dictionary you will find that conservatives by definition are totally opposed to new ideas ! Only liberals like new ideas . #4 – Highlight achievements of Republican governors: Great idea, let’s start with Arnold Schwarzenegger in California. #5 – More of #3, only this time Steele does it: Again, conservatives by definition, are opposed to new ideas. #6 – Bring in the minorities: Lots of luck on this one, most people will not support those who hate, fear and despise them . #7 Better communication: Great idea! Let’s put Sarah Palin in charge of this. Or, maybe whatshisname – Chip Saltsman? Yeah, that should work. My read on all this – In 20 years the GOP will barely exist. MAY survive in a few states that are close to 100% WASP. I hope I am wrong. I do not want to live in a one party country, even if it’s my party in control. But, that is what I expect to happen . This is Mr Bush’s legacy. The GOP can thank him for this .
