I fully expect that Republicans will have a good year up and down the ballot in 2010. That is based on the simple fact that we aren’t Democrats. But that is short term thinking. I agree with Chairman Sununu that for the Republican Party to bounce back we need be a party of leaders and [...]

Pindell had the scoop.  So besides the predictable Tausch loving response from the two GraniteGrok guys what does Red Hampshire think about this?
