"...we weren't conservative enough."



According to Jonathan Martin, the old white guys are starting to head to their ancestral country houses to figure out what to do next:

A group of prominent conservatives will meet [today] at the Virginia weekend home of Brent Bozell to discuss the future of the movement and the GOP.

Bozell, chairman of the conservative watchdog group, the Media Research Center, is convening the group along with longtime GOP strategist and conservative pr executive Greg Mueller.

“There will be roughly twenty leaders at the meeting all of whom have been successful fundraisers and grassroots organizers, combined with a few conservative political and media strategists," said Mueller.

As I reported last week, on the agenda will be the role of conservatives in the party, how to go forward in a capital dominated by Democrats and ultimately what path to take to recapture power in the mid-term elections and beyond.

In addition to Mueller and Bozell, other conservatives attending the private session will be: Leonard Leo, executive vice president of the conservative Federalist Society, and a leading figure in the movement on judicial and Catholic issues; Grover Norquist, the anti-tax crusader who heads Americans for Tax Reform; and Tony Perkins, head of the Family Research Center and one of the most high-profile social conservatives.

  1. I certainly hope that the GOP leadership takes advantage of the savvy women in its ranks: one thing is clear, post-Palin, and that is that motivating the GOP female base is an extremely valuable move.

    If conservatives are going to give the liberal illuminati a real run for their money in four years, we are going to have to come to grips with the importance of accurately reflecting, at the top of the party ranks, the diversity within it. Leftists must be forced to recognize that conservatives come in all races and genders.
