rebranding effort after the 2012 electi election. but comments like that are ammunition to critics that perhaps those changes were nothing more than a marketing ploy. and already we've seen democrats question us. it's one thing, betty, to question obamacare. but it's another thing to use that rhetoric. >> yes. it's interesting rebranding if this is what it entails. if the gop is trying to dispel a war on women, did huckabee hurt all of those efforts? >> well, you know, republicans say that they're fighting a war for women. but, you know, i think that just yesterday representative kathy morris-rogers was announced she's the top republican in the house. she's going to be giving the republican response to the state of the union address. obviously, we've seen women like senators kelly aot and susan collins really make their mark in the senate. so, you know, i think that there really is a divide in the republican party, perhaps, with which approach to follow.
