Video: Jindal on the future of the GOP
Hot Air » Top Picks —
Video: Jindal on the future of the GOP posted at 9:00 pm on November 11, 2008 by Allahpundit Send to a Friend | printer-friendly His three bullet points about what to do going forward are boilerplate, unfortunately. The more interesting stuff comes halfway through when he talks about supporting Obama and using the states — momentarily the last bastions of GOP rule — as laboratories for experimenting with new conservative policies. Although, with The One and a blue Congress now in charge, I wonder how much decentralized power there’ll be by 2012. Jindal’s hinting, I take it, at some sort of Romneyesque state ...

The GOP gaze at their navel; Oregon hopes for more
BlueOregon —
The exercise of "what happened?" following the massive GOP blood-letting on Election Day is not just an interesting thing to watch, but vastly important. While I'm a pretty hard-core progressive/liberal, I don't see how its in our national (or state) best interest to have such a weak Republican opposition. We need a healthy and strong debate on the large array of issues we face.
I suspect that our Republican brethren are still reeling from the losses. It's got to sting. And it's not like we can't understand what that feels like.
Hopefully that reeling will end soon and they'll get serious about the ...

corner.nationalreview.com 2/25/2009 — I thought his delivery was weak. The content will play well with the party base but seems unlikely to expand it. . . . That said, it is hard for anybody to come out well from responding to a presidential speech to a joint session of Congress.
