GOP defining itself

I came across this article on MSNBC about how the GOP will define itself in 2010. The current issues with bailing out the auto industry will fall on their shoulders: if they fail to help them out, and the economy worsens, they will be to blame. A lot of these problems that we are facing today are because of the poor decisions that the Republicans made while they were in office and I think the elections in 2010 and 2012 will try to reflect a new way of thinking. Already we see people from the party, including Jindal (in the video I posted the other day) saying that Yes, the Republicans made some mistakes, they need to acknowledge that and then move on to try improve the situation. I think any candidate that would back anything that has happened would have a hard time gaining popularity. Jindal knows that the GOP climate right now is not positive, and if he, or anybody else on the republican ticket wants a chance, they need to be the first to acknowledge that they messed up and it can't happen again!
