Struggling Republicans to pick new party chief
International Herald Tribune France
With Democrats now in control of the White House Congress and many states the Republican National Committee chairman will also have to close the gap with foes who exploited the Internet for communications and fundraising. And he will have to find a way to counter a charismatic Democratic president who enjoys wide public support coming on the heels of an unpopular Republican president.
Sarah Palin and the Republican Party Stay Mum on Faith
U.S. News & World Report DC
The site does mention her commitment to education health care energy independence and government reform. I’m always struck by how little the GP publicly beats the drum on faith or social issues given the huge role those forces play in the party’s base and as the Democrats talk about them more and more. Republicans probably figure they’ve already got that based locked up. But does the GP risk alienating that base if they ignore it and their issues entirely? Some religious conservatives in the GP charged John McCain with such negligence during the presidential campaign. And reading this month’s trenchant cover story on Palin in Charisma magazine I couldn’t help but notice an important voice missing: Palin’s. She hadn’t granted Charisma an interview.

“But in this situation he doesn’t fill the idea. He’s more of an idea aggregator. ” New party chairThe real rebuilding of the conservative brand begins Friday when the Republican Party chooses who will be its new party chair. In the absence of a GP president House speaker or Senate majority leader that person will become the face of Republicanism on cable and network chat shows the party’s chief fundraiser and one of conservatism’s leaders at a time in which the movement is desperately searching for some leadership. That quest will continue next month when hard-core conservatives gather at their annual Conservative Political Action Conference a coming-to-Mecca type of conference featuring the party’s up-and-comers such as Rep. House Minority Whip Eric Cantor R-Va.
Preston on Politics: GP’s eternal flame burns outside DC
CNN
ur governors are the only ones to do it. " Ayers might have a point. In Washington Republicans have been relegated to playing the role of the loyal opposition party but Republican governors are in a better position to produce results on a wide variety of domestic issues. And Ayers notes that over the next year people should expect to see "our governors taking a very large role in communicating what the party is doing and needs to be doing. " So don’t be surprised if you start seeing Republican governors such as Florida’s Charlie Crist Louisiana’s Bobby Jindal Alaska’s Sarah Palin South Carolina’s Mark Sanford and California’s Arnold Schwarzenegger among others speaking out about the future of the Republican Party. The next national Republican leader might not be picked in a Washington ballroom this week; he or she might very well be a governor who is in a position to showcase his or her talents at solving problems. And it is from this Republican bench which some of the front-runners for the GP presidential nomination in 2012 will emerge.

Let me preface this response by saying that I could never pretend understand the difficulties that she and other black Americans have faced in this country. I grew up in a period when it was acceptable to treat those with darker skin as inferior and I lived through a period of great change.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said he would seek to begin debate in the Senate on Monday. President Barack bama wants the package approved by mid-February. There are plenty of spending measures in the legislation aimed at directly helping generate economic growth and assisting people in need from $275 billion in temporary tax cuts to $300 billion in assistance to the unemployed and to cash-strapped states reeling from the economic downturn. But it is the litany of other seemingly nonemergency items that is upsetting some stomachs on Capitol Hill like the $15.
