What to do....next

Well now that the two year election season is over it finally seems like everything is back to normal. The media is switching from their 24/7 coverage of Obama, McCain, Palin and Biden to their continual coverage of the falling economy, new government bailouts, and the Obama Family's plan to redecorate the White House. Sarah Palin is back in Alaska and is now one of the most sought after interviews of the election season. John McCain is heading back to the Senate in January, while Obama and Biden are heading to the White House in January.

Now the Republican party is like a chicken without a head, they don't have a clear leader anymore. Some in the party want Sarah Palin to be its new leader while others want a new face and direction for the party. The media is questioning what will happen to the party. There are so many great potential leaders in the Republican Party, but it doesn't seem like anyone is ready to step up and take over. It was announced yesterday the former Lieutenant Governor of Maryland and chairman of GOPAC as well as the highest ranking African American in the Republican party is seeking the chairmanship of the Republican National Committee. Here are some of my ideas for making the RNC better-

1) Pick a party leader who has name recognition (who has ever heard of Mike Duncan???. The Democrats have Howard Dean, so its time we get someone who everyone knows, like Newt Gingrich or Michael Steele.
2) Focus on the economy and national security instead of social issues. Social issues are very important but in today's world they seem irrelevant. When everyones 401K is dropping daily they don't care if Obama is going to nominate liberal judges to the Supreme Court, the want someone who will fix the economy.
3) Technology! The Democrats did it, now its our turn. They took the Internet to the next level. They used the Internet to connect with their supporters and raise money. The Republican party did that this election but they started too late.
4) Develop a 50 state strategy like the Obama Campaign. They had offices and staff in almost every state. They knew they weren't going to win all 50, but they still tried and it paid off. They turned states blue like North Carolina, Virginia, Colorado, Indiana, Florida, Ohio, Nevada, Iowa, and New Mexico which helped Obama to blow McCain out of the water in the electoral map.

Its time for the party to get going, this is our time to rebuild and become great again. Hopefully it won't take 8 years like it took the Democrats before they could take over Washington again.
