U.S. Sen. Olympia Snowe said that the Republican Party needs to change its strategy.

She was quoted in The Hill in a story about the re-election of U.S. Senate leadership. Reporter J. Taylor Rushing wrote:

“Rank-and-file GOP senators, like Olympia Snowe of Maine, say they are anxiously waiting for a change in tactics. Democratic leaders repeatedly pounded the GOP as obstructionists, for example, and fairly or not, Snowe suggested the image stuck with voters.

“’Our party will have to rethink its approach,’ Snowe said. ‘I think it almost will have to be re-taught here about how you legislate, because I do think that’s an art that has been lost over time’.”
