		<description>(re-posting to this more recent, relevant thread)

There are a couple things that the GOP can do.
First option: ambush. Imagine a candidate who comes out of nowhere and steamrolls the opposition. No one saw it coming.
Marco Rubio had caught my eye awhile back, but I’m sure there are others. It would give intelligent candidates with a fresh perspective a chance, thereby widening GOP appeal. It might also impress the hell out of some, because instead of saying “Yeah, we know we suck. What’s that? Somebody somewhere thinks we should remain on the suck-train for the next decade? Sure, we can do that,” the public would instead see a GOP that refuses to suck and will reach to any height to embrace its (and more importantly, America’s) most justifiable ideals.
Second option: roll over and cry in its milk like a bunch of pansies by nominating/electing candidates that are well-known by the public in the same sense as National Enquirer- everyone knows what they are and that they are not healthy to embrace, but they embrace them anyway because that’s what they know.
I don’t want the second option GOP. I want a firebombing, Rambo-esque GOP (with a lot less of the blood/gore but with metaphorically similar asskickery) with candidates who think for themselves and appeal to the people without letting others bully them into things.</description>
