Future

One of the best things that can come out of an Obama Presidency (aside from America becoming made out of gold, and sharing this gold with everyone) is the complete, total and radical over-haul of the Republican Party.

Yes, there are traditionalists out there who will want to continue down the same path of Guns, God and Sarah Palin to the White House, but reformers within the party understand that America is changing: it's becoming more diverse, educated, urban, and if the Republican Party is to survive, it has to leave its Sarah Palin's behind and find a true leader with a powerful, unifying, national vision. Right now, the Republicans have no one like that in sight, and I know that they are going to use the next four years searching through its ranks for their own Obama (maybe it's Bobby Jindal).

Obama's election proved that conservatives have to appeal "more to Hispanics, blacks, independents and younger voters," and "they cannot continue to insult the sensibilities of the educated class and the entire East and West Coasts." The party understands that the south's political influence is waning and that the cultural battles they have used to drive wedges into the electorate don't matter as much now.

It's basically a list-generator for their database, but you get a chance to outline what you think the party has to do entering the 21st Century.

Here's what I wrote:

"Don't start building your party around a potential 2012 candidate (because none of them are encouraging right now). Build your party around the sentiment that prevailed last Tuesday: more hope, more love, more big ideas and vision... just become Democrats."
