Nebraska GOP aims to freshen up its image

The would-be chairman of the Nebraska Republican Party plans to put a hip and happening face on the GOP.

Mark Fahleson, 41, of Lincoln says he will emphasize registering young people and using new technology to reach voters.

He also says the state GOP will spend time shoring up its base in the 2nd Congressional District, where Democrat Barack Obama peeled off one electoral vote last fall.

"Certainly, we as a party have some challenges. While the state party did relatively well this last cycle — compared to the national scene — there are some things we can work on," Fahleson said.

Fahleson will stand for election Saturday in Fremont during a meeting of the party's state central committee.

So far, Fahleson is the only candidate in the race to succeed Chairman Mark Quandahl. Others may be nominated today, but they would have a tough time running against the man who has the backing of some of the state's top Republican elected officials.

1. If that dude is a swinging Nebraskian, we ain't got much to worry about...

2. Yeah, right.

Because, when I think of the GOP the first words that come to mind are "hip and happening".
"Hip and Happening"
Just like that new fangled "victrola" thing and that sweet new Kaiser automobile.
The sheer stupidity and audacity of these stupid Repuke assholes never ceases to amaze me.

3. That's how superficial they are.....

They think that Obama being youthful and happenin' is why they lost their 2nd district. They don't have a hint that it may have been based on the policies and message that Obama offered. :shrug:

4. And Botox.

Lots and lots of Botox.

At least if that guy is a typical example....
