COMMENTARY
The 2012 Republican Cabinet
By Ben Shapiro
While Republicans celebrate their newfound majority in the House of
Representatives, Americans await the true political turning point: the 2012
elections. If
Obama is to be stopped, Republicans will need to run a powerhouse candidate in
2012.
Republicans will have to come up with someone who can bridge ideological ties
within the
party while jazzing up the conservative base. Or they can come up with a slate
-- a
conservative dream team: a cabinet comprised of at least half of the following
appointees.
2011: The Promise and the Pitfalls
By Ed Feulner
It’s an exciting time for conservatives. Also a dangerous one.
There is much
to do -- and very little margin for error. And it’s easy to lose sight of
what’s truly
at stake.
