Republicans First Steps Toward Recovery

This article about the Republican's selecting the next chair for the RNCC shows that the republicans at least realize that something is wrong. The evidence is that all the candidates are touting how they'll do the best job of attracting minorities. There are even two black candidates in the running.

Of course the problem is that it is just a knee-jerk reaction, at least for now. Thus, it becomes a shallow proxy for true inclusiveness. Nonetheless, recovery always starts with admitting that you have a problem. The coming years (or perhaps decade) will make it clearer that they must become more attractive to minorities and accepting of gays, not out of moral revelation, but rather through changing demographic realities.

Still, it's good to see a baby take its first steps.
