Actually it's not really that bad with a few lines of JavaScript....
Code:
<div id="newsSource">
  <SCRIPT language=JavaScript src='http://www.gop.com/Feeds/NewsFeed-Wide.aspx'></SCRIPT>
</div>
<script>
  var regExp = /<a /ig;
  var newsFeed = document.getElementById("newsSource"); 
  var newsFeedSrc = newsFeed.innerHTML;
  newsFeedSrc = newsFeedSrc.replace(linkRegEx,"<A target='_blank' ");
  newsFeed.innerHTML = newsFeedSrc;
</script>
Every link in the feed will now open in a new browser window, even the gop.com link in the footer.

HTH,
