Leaders say GOP must revise tactics
ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON— Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal says the Republican Party needs to go back to basics to attract the broad coalition of voters credited with putting President Barack Obama back in the White House.
Kindergarten basics.
"If we want people to like us, we have to like them first," Jindal said on Fox News Sunday.
Former Commerce Secretary Carlos Gutierrez has a more nuts-and-bolts approach to bringing in some of the largest and fastest growing groups of Americans: He's forming a super PAC to support Republican candidates who back comprehensive immigration reform, including legalizing the status of an estimated 11 million immigrants in the U.S. without authorization.
gave groups in his base coalition: Latinos, African-Americans and young people.
The 2012 elections drove home trends that have been embedded for years in the fine print of birth and death rates, immigration statistics and census charts. Nonwhites made up 28 percent of the electorate this year, compared with 20 percent in 2000, with Hispanics comprising much of that growth. Obama captured a commanding 80 percent of the growing ranks of nonwhite voters in 2012, just as he did in 2008. Republican Mitt Romney won 59 percent of non-Hispanic whites, and although he dominated among white men — outperforming 2008 nominee John
Both Jindal and Gutierrez backed Romney's bid for the White House, but distanced themselves from his post-election comments.
McCain among that group — he couldn't win.
Republicans have spent much of the time since the election wrestling with ways to appeal beyond their base of white men and married women. Nonetheless, in a conference call to big donors last week, Romney credited Obama's win to "extraordinary financial gifts from government" he said the president
Jindal, the incoming chair of the Republican Governors Association and a potential presidential candidate in 2016, on Sunday said
slighting people simply isn't good politics.
Jindal said the Republican Party needs to convince voters it is the party of the middle class and upward mobility. Its conservative principles "are good for every single voter."
"You don't start to like people by insulting them and saying their votes were bought. We are an aspirational party," he said.
"We also don't need to be saying stupid things," Jindal said, referring to GOP Senate candidates in Missouri and Indiana who lost their races after comments about rape that were widely criticized.
Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, the GOP group's incoming vice chair, said also on Fox News Sunday that governors are key to bringing a diversity of voters to the GOP Thirty states have elected Republican governors, an indication that "the trust factor is there."
"We've got a message that works for young people, that works for people who come to our country from other countries, and, basically for anyone who wants to live their piece of the American dream," Walker said. "I think that starts with our governors as great messengers."
"If we get this right... the 21st century is ours," Gutierrez said, referring to the GOP. "If we get it wrong, shame on us."
Gutierrez, who served under George W. Bush, is hopeful for the future of his party.

Former professor files to appeal tenure case
A former University professor is appealing a Douglas County District Court
Albert Romkes worked as an assistant mechanical engineering professor since 2005 until he was not awarded tenure last school year and subsequently dismissed from the University
decision that defends the University's decision not to award tenure to him.
The appeal was filed last month with the Kansas Court of Appeals after Douglas County District Judge Robert Fairchild handed down a decision in September siding with the University. Fairchild said in the decision that the tenure denial was "supported by substantial evidence and is neither arbitrary nor capricious."
Though not part of the legal disagreements, Romkes has maintained his stance that the University's decision against him is personal because he was an openly gay faculty member.
Romkes
The University's tenure process evaluates candidates based on teaching, scholarship and service. it consists of three independent levels of review, with the University Committee on Promotion and Tenure being the last level. UCPT is an 11-person com-
mitte with the University's provost as a chair. Romkes was recommended for tenure by the first two levels, but both
"To me, it was clear that there was some personal issue for the dean and the chairman to go against me." Romkes said in a previous University Daily Kansas story about his lawsuit. "I had no idea what it was, except for one potential issue: the gay issue."
the department chair and the dean of the School of Engineering did not agree with the decision to award Romkes tenure. UCPT agreed not to award Romkes tenure because he had not served as a principal investigator on externally-funded grants.
Engineering students and alumni defended and supported Romkes through kualumine4romkes.org. The site alleges that Romkes was not aware of the principal investigator rule because it came into effect in 2009, and Romkes is the only professor rejected for tenure based on the rule.
