Post-Election Thoughts

It's over. A truly historic election which brought us our first African-American President, Barack Obama. I disagree with him on virtually everything, but I consider him an honorable man of integrity, and I wish him well. It was a democratic year, and he ran a great campaign. He won decisively, and he deserves it.

McCain wasn't a great candidate, and ran an uninspired campaign. Sarah Palin was a gutsy choice as running mate, and was a big target for the dems because of her conservatism.

What's the way forward for the Republicans? I'm not sure, but one thing I do know is we must return to our core values. Limited gov't, low taxes, pro-business, and above all, we must cut federal spending.

Fortunately, there is considerable young talent in the conservative ranks. Besides Palin, there's Louisiana Gov Bobby Jindal, Minnesota Gov Tim Pawlenty, and my favorite, GOPAC chairman Michael Steele. Look out in 2012.
