And that's the problem with the Republican party. As anyone on the left, or in the traditional media, will tell you, the GOP is the party of old white men.
And they're right. Just look at these prominent Republicans.
Let's start with Republican Party chairman Michael Steele:

Look at the two GOP politicians that have ignite the most passion in Republican followers. First, former Alaska governor Sarah Palin:

And, it's not just the party politicians, it's those in the media. Take a look at two of the major Republican pundits that appear most on news shows.
First, Michelle Malkin:

Then, there's Ann Coulter:

It's old white men like these that are holding the Republican party back. Until the GOP takes actions to make itself more diverse, they'll never be taken seriously again.
UPDATE:
