WASHINGTON EXAMINER: GOP Needs To Offer A Plan For Governing. “Republican leadership has yet to come forward with a definitive plan for governing if voters return them to the majority in either the House or Senate, or both. The Examiner is told such a plan is coming in late September. The sooner, the better: The party’s future depends on it. So far there are only tiny green shoots here and there now, like pledges to put cameras in House Rules Committee meetings and provide a 72-hour period for the public to read the final version of a bill before the House votes on it.”

UPDATE: The Joe Miller Lesson Applied to the GOP Congressional Leadership. “The lesson of Joe Miller’s victory over Lisa Murkowski should be a wake-up call to establishment Republicans that the political plates beneath the crust of partisan politics have shifted. Conservatives are done voting for candidates just because they have an ‘R’ beside their names — even if they’re entrenched incumbents.”
