books are
being
written on
the topic as
we go to
print.
Surely he is
a good
speaker. And

The Way
Back
By Tom Davis
Republicans
must be
wondering: Can

the White House
and a majority
in both houses

all three will
be
in

majority in
the Senate.........................MORE

G. McCotter

Party lost
control of
both houses

there had
not been a
Republican
president
since

1933.
Coincidentally,
Russell Kirk

The
Conservative
Mind in

of Mumbai

Hoekstra
There’s only one word to describe the challenge ahead for the

call to
America not
just that
the threat......................MORE

Collins
Public
confidence
in our
nation’s
financial
system has
been badly
shaken by
the extent
of the

felt not
just on Wall
Street, but
in towns and
communities
all around
my home
state of
Maine.

Must Prepare
for Future
By
Lou Zickar
As
Republicans
begin
debating the
future of
the party,
it is worth
noting that
some in the
party are
already
trying to
rewrite the
past. In
recent
weeks,
several
members of
the more
conservative
wing of the
GOP have
stated that
the reason
the party
