A "New Republican"

By Chris Kromm / February 14, 2005

At the moment, it would seem the Republicans are in pretty strong shape nationally, controlling the three branches of government and all. But over at Washington Whispers via Political Wire, we learn that at least one GOP presidential hopeful thinks a new image is in order:
Get ready for another Arkansas governor with a clever slogan to hit the presidential trail. This time it's Republican Mike Huckabee, who's calling himself a "new Republican" as he ramps up for the race. Like Bill Clinton , the guv is popular, plugged in, plays an instrument -- guitar -- and even hails from Hope.
Question for the day: What does a "New Republican" look like?
