The Republicans' problem

Just looking at it objectively as someone who does not care one way or the other, the Republicans have a real public relations problem. No matter how they try to posture, they come across as a party of rude, obnoxious, self-serving men whose main concerns are to have their own way and get rich doing it. In other words, Rush Limbaugh has become the face of the party. They have lost the gentle eloquence of Ronald Reagan and have again become Wall Street with some Southern beer-drinking rudeness thrown in.

We are talking here, not about what they may or may not be, but about how they are perceived. They ought to have blown Mr. Obama out of the water, and instead ended up botching what should have been an easy win. There is a lot of work to be done, boys. You shot off ALL your toes in this one.

The only person who would impress me from among the Republicans is someone who would be willing to be a Maverick and break with the party's modus operandi. And I do not think such a person could be nominated.

I predict you will see the Republicans move toward the center eventually on social (moral) issues in order to garner votes. In other words, I expect very little from them.
