Is the party over?
That is the question that seems political circles these days. Are we no different than the democrats. Most Americans do not look at party labels when deciding on who to vote for. Does the party label matter anymore? It probably doesnt to the general public but it does matter to those who work politicals professionally. One of the essentially functions of parties is to organize and motivate volunteers on a large scale especially for presidential elections. This takes a lot of money and coordination. Unfortunately the GOP has donea bad job of effectively courting minority groups. Its no secret that the demographics of the United States is changing. There are fewer and fewer white people. Whether you agree or disagree with illegal immigration. Minorities are the new majority of the future. So we need to be prepared as a party to accomodate their interests and concerns. Its not enough to hire a coordinator three months before the election to convince minorities to vote for our candidates. The party must make a consistent effort throughout the entire year or there will be no party all.
