Since the death of Lee Atwater, the GOP has not had a heavy hitter. Plain and simple. The GOP needs a heavy hitter, who he or she is, I don't know. Perhaps Ton Delay?
Idea: The search should start NOW. There should be a master list of presidential and vice presidential candidates created immediately. It should be a diverse list of potential candidates from all walks of life: military, governors, Lt. governors, State AG’s, Congressmen/women, mayors, etc.
To recreate the party, outside the box (and Beltway) methods must be utilized.
BTW, I think it's over nationally for Gov. Palin - she's been Quayled.
i disagree. she can overcome. she has charisma Quayle never had.
“BTW, I think it’s over nationally for Gov. Palin - she’s been Quayled.”
Oh man. I hope not.
Dan Quayle is no longer allowed out in public, it seems. As for Atwater, he coined the term “big tent”, didn’t he?
DeLay (not Delay) is a masterful organizer but I don’t know how effective he would be managing a campaign, or if he even wants to accept that kind of role.
He should definitely be on board in an advisory capacity, though. Maybe even a vice presidential slot. Imagine DeLay presiding over the Senate.
