“If you ask me, by then this whole mess will belong to the Dems, I mean, how long can the centerpiece of their policy be to blame Bush?”

They can blame Bush for as long as GOP remains as passive as they have been, from Bush on down.

The GOP needs a RNC Chairman, a Senate Minority Leader, and a House Minority Leader ho will calmly, firmly, at every opportunity lay out what is WRONG with dem plans and actions.

It will also help if other prominent GOP spokesmen give it a good shot. People like Gingrich, Romney, McCain, Thompson are the ones the media will be inviting to their weekend news shows.

Excellent analysis. What we need is rebuilding of the party. It starts with the RNC chairman. We can hate DNC chairman Dean but he did spend lot of dollars in southern states to peel of congressional seats in 06 and even senate seats in 08. Look at what they did to Senator Dole. Millions and millions of dollars were spent in North carolina. Even in states like Mississippi, they were able to peel of one or two congressional seats. I think, Steele would be very good RNC chairman. He is very articulate and a good conservative.

People like Bobby Jindaal, Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich, Sarah Palin should go around the swing states in 2009 and build grass roots movement. We can do it.

Pres. Bush will be blamed for the recession as long as there is a recession. It started when he was president...the only chance the GOP has if the economy improves and Dems do other things that voters don’t like.
