About This Report

The elections of 2006 and 2008 left the Republican Party in shambles, but a year after Barack Obama won the White House, the GOP has begun to revive. The Grand Old Party, however, has not regained the confidence of voters, lacking both a positive agenda and a new generation of identifiable leaders. In coming weeks, The Post will explore the state of the Republican Party in a series of occasional stories, interactives and multimedia.
