I'd start by categorically rejecting "birther" types, and making it clear that Sarah Palin will come nowhere near the party in 2012.

Absolutely. If it requires them to be "frozen out" for a term or two, so be it. I'm not a fan of the Dems being able to run roughshod, but I don't want the lunatic fringe to get another gasp of air.
First step is a strong leader to emerge that has the popularity and the vision to cut out the radicals, declare Palin an enemy to the party and transition the Republican Party back to the economic conservative policies that made it so popular (and away from the massive spending (it's true) and moral high ground BS that it takes currently).
