The future of the Republican Party looks, apparently, like a pizzeria in a suburban strip mall. Because that is what Republicans equate with the words “energizing” and “future.” Also, the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.

Well so what is your opinion, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush? Is it time to think about the future and energize the GOP, or is it time to think about the future and energize the GOP?

Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush said Saturday that it’s time for the Republican Party to give up its “nostalgia” for the heyday of the Reagan era and look forward, even if it means stealing the winning strategy deployed by Democrats in the 2008 election.

Can’t argue with that. Running on a 2008 platform in 2012 is definitely more forward-looking than running on a 1984 platform in 2008.
