1) Stop calling RINOs that. They are not Republicans in name only ...they are republicans. It is us Conservatives who are Republicans in Name Only. Reason being that the Republican Party has shifted towards a more amorphous middle ground.
2) There will be a real need to attract Latino voters to the GOP. Without them, and considering the demographic shift, the GOP is finished.
3) There will have to be an absolute need to focus on delivering a simple yet effective message on what WE can deliver (and not just where the other guy has messed up). As some other person said, Reagan did a great job in this with his stories, and Newt did it with his knowledge of American history. However, looking at GW, McCain and Romney they (to a large extent) let the enemy define them, and more importantly, define their message. That is a fatal flaw.

“The need to attract Latinos” is nonsense! It will not be up the leaders of the party, it will be up to the rank and file like you and me to work one-on-one with people whose heritage came through a Spanish-speaking country.
The leaders still do not get it, they think that all we have to do is ‘moderate’ our stand on Immigration. I am willing to bet that most “Hispanics” do not like people streaming into this country illegally.
The biggest opportunity I see here is the Catholic Church members who woted for Obama. I will be working on two or three of my fellow parishioners at a time to bring them back fully immersed into the teaching of Our Lord.
