The State of the Republican Brand

On Wednesday, January 16th in Chicago, America's Future Foundation hosted a roundtable on the "State of the Republican Brand." The panelists sought to answer many questions. With so much dissatisfaction within the conservative and libertarian base, what is the state of the Republican "brand?" How should conservatives and libertarians re-shape the brand in 2008 and beyond? In some sense, President Bush envisioned an "ownership society" as a uniting theme for conservatives and libertarians. To what extend did this succeed or fail? Does polling data reflect a decline of voter support for smaller government, in general? Are the Republican presidential candidates reflecting voter preferences, or vice versa? Is the "leave us alone" coalition still intact?

Joining AFF in the discussion were Grover Norquist of Americans for Tax Reform, Ramesh Ponnuru of the National Review, Larry Horist of Thomas & Joyce, Inc, and political consultant Dan Proft of Urquhart Media. Moderating this discussion was Blake Dvorak of Real Clear Politics.
