There’s a lot of enthusiasm right now among the base, but it’s gonna take leadership and some ideas to bring about a revival. Currently those don’t exist. There’s no Newt Gingrich or Contract with America; and the tea partiers aren’t really on board.

And a slowly but surely emerging demographic disaster looms up ahead for the GOP. No successful appeals to minority voters. Young voters, gays, immigrants–all flocking to the Dems.

If the GOP just wants to be the southern white christian party, they don’t have much hope of being the majority anytime soon.
