This is a pretty good article that should be read in its entirety. Since posting it in its entirety would violate copyright laws, I'll summarize.
Most of the suggestions are tactical. Republicans must
- copy the Democrats get-out-the-vote strategy, including emulating the 50-state get-out-the-vote strategy
- better counter Democrats' negative advertising, which was effective
- do better registering Republicans and getting them out to the polls
- better frame economic issues towards middle-class families
- do better with young people, women and Hispanics
- avoid appearing callous and judgmental on social issues. Comments about rape and abortion hurt the party
- reduce the destructiveness of the primaries
- have fewer debates in the primaries
- hold the convention earlier
