What now for the Republicans?

Reading this very stilted article saying it's the Dems who face catastrophic fundraising problems (yeah, right,) I came across this.

And while President Bush may have been a drain on their political fortunes, he was also the single biggest fundraising draw in GOP history.

That got me thinking. Boehner and McConnell are not going to draw big audiences around the country. Lobbyists aren't going to give big money to a Republican party facing at least 4 years without control of anything.

Without Bush, the Republicans need a "celebrity" who can bring attention and dollars.

So, who is that? Palin? Huckabee? Jindal? Romney? Where's that pool of money that can be tapped? Business? "Conservatives?"

I think that whoever figures this out will likely have the inside track to GOP 2012.
