A Republican victory sounds impossible but who would have thought Barak Obama would be our new Commander-in-Chief? Anything can happen and it's not too early for Republicans to start planning a new strategy to make it happen in 2012.

Follow this simple recipe step by step and watch it rise to the occasion. The Democrats cooked up a huge victory and served up a slam-dunk Fiesta on November 4th using a healthy pinch of stealth plus a large cup of dogged determination mixed well with organization and smarts. Acorn nuts have been sprinkled generously on the dessert as the Dems welcome Al Franken served up a la mode.

1. Convince Sarah Palin to go to the Senate where she can do a lot of damage for the Republican good. She was born for the Senate plus it's cold in D.C. No moose around but she can really "shake things up" with Eric Cantor and John Boehner especially if Hillary is somewhere far away in the Middle East with Bill, enjoying the splendors of Dubai as Mr. and Mrs. Secretary of State.

2. Smart Money- Steve Forbes, Neil Cavuto, Donald Trump and Stuart Varney. Maybe Lou Dobbs can come over from CNN as a free-agent or Fox can give up 3 minor league prospects in a win-win situation.

3. Newt Gingrich, front and center. Remember the "Contract With America"?

4. Frequent Help and Advice from the Choir: Dick Morris, Bill O'Reilly, Mike Huckabee, Sean Hannity, Dennis Miller, Laura Ingraham, Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Ann Coulter and many others.

5. Seriously, Get Back to Basics - Cut taxes, Smaller government, States rights, Balance the budget, etc.

6. The Big God Part of the Recipe - The Republican Party is about God, like it or not. A big part of the Democratic Party is about Atheism. Make that distinction crystal clear. Court the Latino vote emphasizing pro-life and pro-family perspectives with a winning immigration strategy. Pull in the black vote by featuring Michael Steele as the new Republican Party Chairman. Where are the African-American Republicans? Black voters in California voted 70% against gay marriage in the recent election. Stop putting abortion on the back-burner. It's not going away but the base will go away unless abortion is front and center again. Look up Ralph Reed and is there a Jerry Falwell out there?

7. Let the Far Left go Nuts for 4 years - The Obama Machine can't control the 'fringe folks' nor do they wish to control them. Big mistake for the Dems.

8. Develop the Young Republicans and give them more playing time. Put them on the field to intercept the abortion pass. When the "fringe folks" start pouring water on the beached whales, show Palestra.net on a split screen interviewing peaceful abortion protesters. Hint: Separate the light from the darkness.

9. Bobby Jindal- Bobby Jindal-Bobby Jindal

10. Pray - that our country will return to God's favor through individual repentance and humility. "...if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land."
