Meanwhile on that same day throughout
America -- particularly in states where voter-suppression laws had been enacted
-- church vans numbering perhaps in the thousands, some emblazoned with the
moniker Souls
to the Polls, were
busy shuttling ordinary Americans not to presumptive victory parties, but to the
polls. Many aboard those vans understood
that they were facing an up to 7-hour
wait
to cast their ballot. To me, the
contrast revealed itself in the form of numbers of dollars versus numbers of
people and in 2012, the people won.
Nevertheless, the formula for a
GOP comeback is not rocket science; it must
open its eyes wider and more broadly. It
must take in a more panoramic view of America, circa 2012 instead of flailing
against the demographic changes that continue to unfold. They must then follow up with a legislative
and governing approach that lends itself to far more pragmatism than that which
it has presented over the past four years.
By stepping in that direction, the politics will take care of
itself.
Just ask President Barack
Obama.
