To the Point
The GOP Tries to Rebuild Itself
Barack Obama's re-election has led the GOP to an agonizing reappraisal. Agreed on the need to reach out to new demographics, they are divided on how that should be done.
In the aftermath of Barack Obama's re-election, Republicans are a divided party—but they know it's time for a change. Will outreach to new demographic groups mean alienating the base on core issues? Will they use their control over 30 states to set new policies or re-write the rules for presidential elections? Also, clashes and protests continue in Cairo, and poor sleep may be the key to memory loss in older people. The problem may be treatable.
