That\u2019s down even since last November\u2019s election. One of the problems they\u2019re facing is that the press keeps focusing on polarizing leaders like Governor Sarah Palin, Rush Limbaugh and Newt Gingrich. Now a group of congressional Republicans is trying to turn things around with a road show. And guess who they picked as the salesman for the new Republican Party? Some not so new faces. Senator John McCain, former governors Mitt Romney and Jeb Bush, Mississippi governor Haley Barbour, and the one newcomer, Governor Bobby Jindal. Now, they plan to hold town halls and get conversation going with folks who are independents and interested Democrats.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Now, I don\u2019t care about this. They can do what they want but Newt\u2019s not going to be happy being left out of the group. Newt will not be happy being left out. I don\u2019t know about Sarah Palin, but the headliner of this road show, the new Republican Party, is McCain? Why didn\u2019t they go get Arlen Specter? I mean, the Democrats are out there saying we need to become more like them. Pelosi is saying we need to become more like Democrats if we want to survive as a party. So get Arlen Specter to lead this road show. Carville, Situation Room, CNN. Wolf Blitzer asked him about this National Council for a New America, which is the McCain-led road show. Question, &#8216;What do you think of this new effort by the former governor of Florida, Jeb Bush, trying to rebrand the Republicans right now, come up with a new image to counter this notion that the Republicans are the Party of No?\u2019<\/p>\n<p>CARVILLE: Well, you know, look, they\u2019ve tried a lot of things. They\u2019ve tried the Sarah Palin thing. That blew up in their face. Rush and Michael Steele, the tea bagging. That hasn\u2019t worked out very well. Yeah, I kind of got a little bit of sympathy for them. They\u2019ve got to try something. They just can\u2019t sit there and take the pounding that they\u2019re taking.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: I gave the recipe yesterday. This is such a golden opportunity. They tried the Rush thing, they tried the Sarah Palin thing, they tried the tea bag. (laughing) Hey, James, we don\u2019t have any tea baggers. They\u2019re all on CNN. They are. Tea baggers are at CNN. At any rate, what is this Party of No business? Damn right we\u2019re the Party of No. We do say no to all of this far, extreme radical leftism. What were the Democrats the past seven years? They were no to even victory in Iraq. These guys, they\u2019re going to make a mistake if they allow Democrat criticism to shape the way they do this road show. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Last night, Campbell Brown, No Bias, No Bull, she\u2019s on maternity leave, has some guest host in there.
