I don’t think it comes down to the specific candidates...they have to carry their weight, obviously.
But what GOP leaders should be doing RIGHT NOW is selecting the “GOP faces” that will represent them on all the talking head shows for the rest of the campaign.
No Washington stuffed shirts.
I’m thinking people like Susan Mollinari (and her husband...where’d he go?!).
Bobby Jindal
Fred Thompson
Michael Steel
_____________(more women)
Newt’s been fabulous...hmmm, Speaker again?
I’m sure there are many more.
McCain/Palin are great. But they’re spending their days at rallies giving canned speeches. We need feisty, common sense conservatives taking on the libs all day/night on the talking head shows. We need THEM to be the face of the party (sorry, Boehner).
It’s critical that the GOP come up with this team IMMEDIATELY in order to take advantage of this sublime opportunity.
Molinari has been out of the House for a decade and it’s unlikely her husband, Bill Paxon, will be going back to that grind again. There are other reasons they may not be making active and aggressive public appearances for reasons I cannot discuss here.
