The Election was there for the taking in 2012. If someone was elected that could simply have reasonable turnout on the GOP side, that person wins. Who is that candidate? Hard to say right now, but the pieces are there to flip the script around.

Dislike of the Dems is not enough...obviously...to drive people to the polls. The candidate will have to have an actual personality, unlike Romney and McCain.

Sorry, but personality does not win elections for the GOP.

Ideals and Ideas backed by rock-solid principles will.

IF the GOP wants to go the way of the Whigs, it will put either a Mr. Bland or a Mr. Personality without principles at the forefront in 2016.

That, coupled with the last two principle-less losers we had, should be enough to kill off out-right.
