ICB: GOP Needs More Grand, Less Old

Over the last year I have gotten to know many of our Representatives and many in the Republican Party. I have greatly enjoyed much of the interaction, but over the last few weeks and months I have noticed that the Idaho “Grand Old Party” seems at times to be more Old than Grand. I am not talking about age demographics. I am talking more about presentation and more importantly the way the party handles the media and dare I say “marketing” of the state party. Many may not want to hear this but marketing is a huge part of the battle and the Idaho GOP better figure this out fast/Idaho Conservative Blogger. More here.

Question: Which party is more media savvy in Idaho -- Republicans or Democrats?
