Perhaps our 1997 is your 2008.

This is the 4th time in 5 elections the GOP has lost the popular vote at a presidential election. Are the GOP now a 'regional' party? What can be done about New England? Has Nixon/Reagans grand coalition collapsed?

How can the GOP sell conservatism again and who will lead a drive towards modernisation?

They should trend towards European style Conservatism. They will of course not do that.

The culture wars should be left in 2004, where they belong and move on.

But the culture wars is what the base want to fight again and again. Now the base is all the GOP have they will make pretty sure it stays on the agenda.
