Resurrecting the Republicans
-
- November
- 26
The Republican Party, as you no doubt have noticed, has been engaged in a whole lot of soul searching in the aftermath of its Election Day losses. In New York, Barack Obama’s romp only continued a string of defeats. Already shutout in statewide posts, from the governor’s office to comptroller, the GOP relinquished its grip on the state Senate (pending resolution of some intra-Democratic Party squabbling). The other chamber already belongs to Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver, D-Manhattan.
What’s a party to do?
We put that question to some GOP notables: Liz Feld, mayor of Larchmont and failed Senate candidate; Greg Ball, re-elected to the Assembly in November; Mike Edelman, the political consultant and commentator; and Ben Gilman, the former congressman from Rockland. They share their prescriptions for revival — all four are remarkably and refreshingly candid — in a full-page report on Friday. (Matt Davies, the editorial cartoonist, gets his say, too.)
They’re compelling reads. Be sure to look for them in print and online Friday.
