So who is the new Newt? Who helps the Republicans take back congress in 2010 like they did in 94? Where's the next Contract With America?

Newt had been setting 1994 up for years, who has been doing that legwork now?

Who can we help? Who do we get behind?

We need to start now, today.

There isn't anybody really. Plus....the voters are not going to believe a Contract With America II since the Republicans did not follow through and keep Contract With America I.

Promises are not going to do it this time. Republicans are going to have to start actually doing things. Since they have no power to do things on the national scale they are going to have to do it locally and at the state level and go from the bottom up.

I think the Republicans should take a page from the British and establish a "Shadow Cabinet". Sort of like a permanent truth squad. They shouldn't do anything mean, or harp on things. Just issue releases with what they would do differently, and get into policy detail when they do. Act responsibly and seriously, as if they were governing.

The members of this "Shadow Cabinet" would get exposure in this way.

I posted this in another thread but it bears repeating as it needs to happen. We start with the House and that happens by getting Conservative Nationally known leaders to move to vulnerable Democrat Districts within red states. We need Tom DeLay, Michael Steele and yes, even Newt, to step up to the plate and run for the House or Senate from their new home base!
