module 9--- GOP

I do not feel that GOP will be unable to compete for presidency or congress after 2006 or 2008. As we all know this has happened in the past just as the Democrats lost big time in 1994 and in 2002. People were sick of the way things were going with the Republican Party, so they voted differently back in 2008. There were many factors, the major one being the economy that moved people to vote Democrat. Just because they did this in this election doesn’t mean that they will never get the chance again to be in office or congress.
As far as I’m concerned this is just a normal political cycle and that when the Democrats start doing things that the people don’t like they will once again vote back to the Republicans. The thing that I feel the Republicans could have done better was to choose a better candidate than McCain and this might have improved their chances of election or an election that was not so broad when it comes to the numbers. I don’t think that the Republican Party is ever going to diminish, but they definitely need to do some sort of reforming in order to get back on track. In our readings it says that a strategic party should allocate sources if it will make the difference between winning and losing. If the Republican party re-evaluates their platforms they would most likely gain more support and be able to be more competitive in the next election.
