Enter 2 POINTERS HUFFINGTON 03.24.13 RNC REPORT SHOWS VOTERS SEE PARTY AS ‘OUT OF TOUCH’ FROM TOP: AP PHOTO/MANUEL BALCE CENETA; WIN MCNAMEE/GETTY IMAGES The Republican National Committee released a report this week titled the Growth and Opportunity Project, which showed voters view the party as “narrow minded” and “out of touch.” RNC Chair Reince Priebus called it an “autopsy” report that shows the GOP’s 2012 failures and lays out the ways the party needs to change. “If we don’t start now we’re not going to have any more success in four years, eight years, or 12 years,” he said on CBS’ Face the Nation. 3 NEWTOWN KILLER REPORTEDLY KEPT SPREADSHEET OF MURDERERS 4 10 YEARS AFTER IRAQ, POLL FINDS LOW SUPPORT FOR WAR Adam Lanza, who killed 26 people in December at Sandy Hook Elementary School, reportedly kept records on mass murderers for years. Investigators found a “chilling spreadsheet 7 feet long and 4 feet wide that required a special printer, a document that contained Lanza’s obsessive, extensive research — in nine-point font — about mass murders of the past, and even attempted murders,” the New York Daily News reports. Despite the large number of casualties from the Iraq War, most Americans don’t know anyone who was injured or killed there, a new HuffPost/YouGov poll found. Only 6 percent said they know someone who was killed in the war, while 12 percent said they know someone who was wounded. The poll also found low support for the war, with 54 percent of Americans saying it was not worth fighting and only 24 percent saying it was worthwhile.
