Palin Resignation Leaves Republican Party 'Weaker'

Bloomberg has a good article about the sorry state of the Republican Party:

July 5 (Bloomberg) -- Sarah Palin's decision to quit as Alaska governor makes her the third Republican in less than three weeks who may have derailed a promising political career, adding to the woes of a party struggling to redeem itself with voters.

...Regarding the Republican Party's future, former McCain adviser John Weaver said the party has failed to adapt to changing demographics and hasn't come up "with a message that resonates with people beyond our core base."

"We've entered into a rudderless period" with no clear leader, Weaver said.
