    Very sloppy reporting. I can tell you firsthand as a gay man in Florida that Charlie Crist did NOT avoid gay marriage. He publicly supported Amendment 2 (the anti-gay marriage amendment) after first claiming to be a "live and let live kind of guy." Crist has turned out to be just what I have suspected his entire public life, someone who would say anything and sell out anyone to advance his own political career. That is not the kind of governor that will save the GOP.

    How could it be rethinking if there was never any thinking in the first place?

    I'm looking forward to the fight for control of the GOP party of hate. Only further fracturing can result.

      Being nothing but pro-corporate is a thought process. Even insane people can have goals.

    "All they can do is complain and obstruct..." Isn't that all they ever do? Seriosly: Republicans only advocate limited governemnt when they are not in power, as soon as the GOP fiool enough people into voting them in, suddenly "big governemnt" is not an issue, as we have seen in the last eight years.

    This is why the only people who fell for the GOP ticket this time around were the closert neo-nazis (and the upfront ones as well) and the moden day puritans. This is ther base for the GOP (Governemtn of Plenty), reduced to a fringe party consisting of bigots, zealots and fools. They really need to change their symbol from the Elephant to the mastadon. So 2012 they're considering the likes of Palin and the Governator? Perhaps the Mayans were on to something....

      Honestly, if the GOP are trully trying to ake changes, and actually want to have a chance at all, they should run Ron Paul. Though, the GOP aren't smart enough to appeal to the fiscal conservatives. No, they like paqndering to such rabble as Pailin and Wurtzenbacher.... Such showmen, they are......

        The RNC isn't interested in anything conservative, they are only interested in their own agenda. Ron Paul would have fixed the course of this nation, the very reason he was banished.

    The majority of Americans have lost faith in the Republican Party. Obama did not win the last election because people 'love' the Democratic Party but more so because President Bush and the Republican Party lack of leadership and contempt for the ordinary citizens.
    McCain felt he had to appease the conserative base of his party and neglected the masses. If he was principled and stood up against all that is wrong with the cuurent adminstration the out come of the elections could have been different. There is absolutely no reason why he should not have won the Hispanic vote and attracted more undicided Decomratic voters.
    The GOP will be in the wilderness for some time to come.

    I was listening to Sen. John McCain during his campaign speeches and they all were a bunch of unprofessional statements.

    Why in the world would you want to bring along Joe the plumber to the White House? Ask yourself how does that sound.

    Nothing he said we want to make me vote for him. I hope a Republican noble wins the White House they have shown themselves to be nothing but crooks and dishonest people.

    I have nothing good to say about the GOP party .

    They are out of touch with the reality and society don't they know that? They can never inherit the White House again
