As part of the Growth and Opportunity Project’s effort, focus groups were conducted in Columbus,Ohio, and Des Moines, Iowa, to listen to voters who used to consider themselves Republicans.These are voters who recently left the Party. Asked to describe Republicans, they said that the Party is “scary,” “narrow minded,” and “out of touch” and that we were a Party of “stuffy old men.” This is consistent with the fndings of otherpost-election surveys.

No kidding.

And, I can’t see said narrow minded old men changing any time soon.
