Christopher Beam at Slate argues that If the Republican Party wants to recover from the Great Drubbing of 2008, it shouldn't waste too much time worrying about how to turn blue states red. It should be thinking about how to turn itself green.

Suggested policies include:

1. Save money—and the planet.
2. Don't cap, don't trade—tax.
3. Don't feed food.
4. Kill energy subsidies.
5. Go fish, with caution.
6. Hike the Hikers.
