This group also includes Haley Barbour, Bobby Jindal, Mike Pence, and John Thune. I'll listen first before I throw them under the bus. Low expectations, of course.

What they should be doing is not "expanding beyond the conservative base". They should be "expanding the conservative base" by educating the politically ignorant how big government is antithetical to freedom and prosperity.

Exactly. They should be educating the ignorant masses that conservative principles and policies are better for them, their families and their futures. I assume that is their goal, even if they cannot state it as bluntly as we can here.

I agree that we cannot just be the party of no. Let's show them what we are for and why it is better for them. That's what Ronald Reagan did.

Obama has never stopped campaigning. This group is a response to that. It will be the GOP in campaign mode. Tell the people why the GOP brand is better for them in 2010. It is a brilliant idea, if handled properly.
