There might still be hope for the GOP to reinvent themselves.  Maybe something along the lines of this…

The Iranian government declared an outright election victory for President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Saturday morning, and riot police officers clamped down on a growing demonstration by supporters of the opposition candidate, Mir Hussein Moussavi, who insisted that the election had been stolen.

“I am the absolute winner of the election by a very large margin,” Mr. Moussavi said during a news conference…adding: “It is our duty to defend people’s votes. There is no turning back.”

Hmmm…let’s see now…a national election where the outcome is questioned because of possible voting irregularities and where the loser vows to fight to the end in overturning the results?

If any of this seems familiar, try morphing the 2000 Florida results with the 2008 Minnesota Senate race.  Think Bush, Gore, Franken, Coleman…
