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).

The problem for the GOP is the primary math - that is, BOC's and other "morality" issue types tend to make or break any given candidate. McCain was really stupid in that he moved in that direction (by choosing Palin)
after securing the nomination, rather than trying to move to the coveted centre.
