How to Reinvent the Republican Party

Published on November 24, 2008 in Politics. 0 Comments Tags: .

Tolerance, competence and the third thing is empathy. One of the McCain campaign’s lowest points was when a top economic adviser criticised Americans for grumbling about the economy. Astonishing. The Republicans need to show that the interests of ordinary Americans are uppermost in their minds, something they have often failed to do. Their argument with Democrats should be about how best to serve those interests: their endless willingness to cede ground on who cares more is very perplexing.

FT.com / Columnists / Clive Crook – How to reinvent Republican party.

An interesting editorial in the Financial Times.  I’m not sure you have to read it all, but just consider the three points that the editorialist believes the Republican Party should engage in in 2010 and 2012.
