I don't think so.
It may be in need of new leadership, that can “inspire” the masses, but that is a different matter.
Both parties have been struggling for someone who will inspire the nation as a whole. The last such leader was Ronald Regan. I had great hopes for Fred Thompson, another actor and I find that Huckabee is now a regular FOX TV host perfecting his public speaking and sound-byte skills. And let's not forget the current Governor of California and his ability to “perform in front of a camera.”
Today, winning elections is more about camera presence and ability to inspire than it is about just about anything else. If the Chinese book of politics/war were written today, it would be about finding camera-savy leaders who have a good grasp of oratory, some political experience and have a sincere desire to lead the country.
That particular RINO is ineligable because he was not born in the US (Sound Familiar?).
