NY Times on a solution: Some senior Republicans are "urging Congressional candidates to distance themselves from President Bush to head off what could be heavy losses in the fall."

WashPost: GOP leaders tried to "re-brand" with new slogan -- "The Change You Deserve" -- but it was immediately mocked because of parallels to Obama's motto.

Plus: Karl Rove writes in WSJ op-ed that two of party's losses can be attributed to "bad candidates," warns Republicans can't just yell "liberal!" to win an election, they need to offer reform agenda.
