A failure to communicate

That is the key point of Hugh Hewitt's Politico's article: GOP 5.0: What next for Lincoln's party?

"The difference — a 6-point, 8 million vote difference, it turned out — was in the GOP's ability to communicate its ideals and its vision for America. The party lost its voice at precisely the moment it needed to be full throated. Gov. Sarah Palin's enormous popularity was primarily because she was unafraid to speak into the roar of disapproval of the media elite about the virtues of the classic GOP platform, including its belief in protecting unborn life and in economic liberty. As Sen. Saxby Chambliss (R-Ga.) noted after his blowout win — which also energized the GOP nationally — Palin’s barnstorming drew enormous crowds and allowed his runoff campaign to peak at exactly the right time."

We need an RNC Chair who above all else will be unafraid to articulate the Republican message of regainig a robust, internationally competive economy through less government -- less taxes and less restrictive government regulation -- amid the roar of disapproval from the liberal Left and the media elite. What Gov. Palin did in Georgia can be seen as a clear example of what she is capable of doing for the Republican Party on the national stage...communicate the message.
