[A CA Guy]

Where the Republican party sucks, especially in California is that there isn't enough grass roots people coming up with any curb appeal.
Maybe it is the nature of politics that to have a lifespan you can't have a spine, but it sure seems as bad as the Democrats are, they don't lack nerve and the Republicans need to get NERVE.

There is a chance to totally change the landscape politically of this country and the Republicans appear to me to be afraid.

The fear suggest they are still manned by mostly amateurs in the consulting area.

The party does need work, but I don't believe it is corrupt like the Democrats in anyway.

Party leaders generally don't really believe in the grassroots. They periodically pay lip service to it, but that's about it. To them, money is the be-all and end-all of politics.

There are some notable exceptions to this, and those people are to be commended and should be supported.

But we have a LONG way to go...
