The Onion adds more insight (h/t Washington, D.C., Bureau Chief Brian):

"Mitt Romney’s poor performance among minority voters, single women, and young people has led many top Republicans to call for an overhaul of the party’s image. Here are some options the GOP is considering to extend its appeal:

* Start nominating hipper, more relatable 65-year-old men
* Begin rolling the R’s in 'deportation' and 'border fence'
* A bunch of abortions and stuff—whatever the gals want
* Change nothing and wait for rest of country to come to its senses
* Project youthful vibe by requiring Republican congressmen to walk around Capitol doing yo-yo tricks
* Change party mascot to a Hispanic elephant
* Start one of those Twitter hashtags
* Eh, fuck it—just disenfranchise as many people as possible"
