How can Republicans/conservatives turn it around and revitalize? Over and over again in the media [View all]

I lose patience with this.

This constant shop-talk about how conservatives and the Republican Party can get it together again and win and revitalize. Every TV station (save for MSNBC) and all the major newspapers and magazines won't shut up about it.

Why must this be a matter of national conversation? Isn't this best left to people in quiet rooms at the RNC, the CPAC conference or Grover Norquist's weekly meetings?
