Republicans will announce today the creation of the "National Council for a New America," a group led by congressional party leaders that includes Bush, McCain, former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney and Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal as its "national panel of experts."

A letter announcing the group's creation does not specifically say that it is separate from the Republican National Committee, but controversial RNC chair Michael Steele is not involved in the effort.

If McCain or any other moderate is involved, it’s doomed to failure.

The ANTI OBAMA PARTY

The ANTI CONGRESSIONAL DEMOCRAT PARTY

Those are the only real issues that we need, IMHO.

If McCain is leading the effort to revitalize the GOP, then consider it dead.

I’ll never support any group that John McCain is involved in.
