Rebuilding The GOP

Having lost the Presidential Election as well as those of the Senate and House, the GOP has their work cut out for them to rebuild the party. After watching quite a bit of the major news networks programming the last week or so, I feel like the party is spending a bit too much time "looking" and less time "searching". 

When I say "looking"I am referring to the Sarah Palin factor. I believe that the GOP keeps looking at her due to the appeal to the base of the party. Honestly, the base of the party hates "liberals" so much they would go to the polls for any Republican, so playing to the base might not be such a sexy idea. As for "searching", I feel like there are some good Republican leaders out there other than Romney, but they need to be found. 

I don't know about you, but I'm getting a little tired of Sarah Palin on every channel every day. Maybe if she was allowed to come out during the election the results might have been different. Regardless, I just don't see her as a representative of the Republican Party. She is just way too far right. I realize Obama is pretty far left, but Democrats aren't afraid of the far left in the same was as Republicans are weary of the far right. I don't know, I like the Republican party, but just not the high profile folks. We'll see what happens after the fall.
