what were Bush's ideas?

I like Evan Bayh, former Indiana Senator, a lot. But I don't know if he can win.

An unnecessary tax cut? He wasn't a member of the Clinton administration?

You tell me. And yet he won. You think if Obama's words were coming out of Bush's mouth he'd have won?

The media thinks Bush won because he clung to his guns and religion.

The GOP plan seems to be to pedal the same gobbledygook a little softer and from different messengers. This is unlikely to be successful.

What the OP should have asked.

White person is anyone of Anglo or Germanic heritage.

Another strategy that the GOP can use to win: stop blacks and Latinos from voting.

They'll keep trying.

The next white male Democrat candidate to run against a Republican for president will be the one who can convince primary voters that he will appoint liberal justices to the SCOTUS, protect abortion rights, grant amnesty to illegals, favor the unions, promote black racial interests, enact gun control, make gays a protected victim group and keep the government gravy train rolling. That covers most of the Democrat coalition.

How about a candidate who doesn't promise to pay off his supporters while robbing someone else, and saying that redistribution is a rising tide that lifts all boats. Is that too much to ask for?

As long as Nancy Pelosi or Hilary Clinton is the leading female candidate, and Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton is the leading black candidate, then a white male has a decent chance of being nominated for the democrats.
