What changes do you think it needs to make in order to become relevant again?” This week, Time offered the same feature to Florida Gov. Charlie Crist , and the questions were not hostile, except for “Why don’t you support same-sex marriage?” and maybe “Do you still consider your support for the stimulus to have been the right choice?” There were neutral oil-spill questions, and then there were these: “How difficult was it to leave the Republican Party?” —  David Hutchinson, Kansas City, Kans. “What are the pros and cons of running as an independent?” — Kevin Waters, Harrisburg, Pa. “Will people still remember the Tea Party in 20 years?” — Justin Powlison, Raleigh, N.C. “Is our current political polarization temporary or permanent?” — Chad Dominicis, Miami “I am a liberal Republican. I s there room in the party for me?” — Jeffrey Hersh, Columbus, Ohio “Does the space program need to be saved?” The last time they offered these Questions to Republicans was to Karl Rove , and there again, Time found the questioner to ask “Is being the ‘party of no’ working for the Republicans?”
