To Win, The GOP Must Outsource Itself
It's not Obama's charisma, or past missteps that are keeping the Republican Party in the wilderness. To come back, the GOP needs to take a page from the Democratic ground game.

...

The Republican brand has virtually failed at the federal level and is falling like a rock at the state tier. How did this seismic shift come about? There were lots of contributing factors, one of which is that the party leadership has failed to show independent voters or their own base that they stand for something. But the most important factor was that Republicans have been completely out-organized by Democrats. And in what is surely the greatest irony of modern political history, they did it by stealing a chapter from the Republican policy playbook, the one called "privatization."

If we are the party of entrepreneurs, privatization and innovation, then we'd better start acting like it. Otherwise it's going to be a long political winter.

naaah, the GOP is the party of hereditary principle, undeserved and unearned self-righteous indignation, and a general loathing of all individuals that their buttoned-up over-starched carcasses deem to be "trash."

let the current guard fail before allowing yourself to become unwitting stooges whose words, actions and principles are used to gain political high ground for the existing party apparatus, only to be discarded at their nearest convenience.

When I started voting I voted Republican on the basis they stood for smaller government. Ooops! Young and naive is my excuse. It was the first time I was "of age" to vote for president. I was seriously thinking after Bush was elected: "Wow this is great, now that the guys who want small government are in charge things are going to be awesome!"
