Well, it’s time to take stock of things. There are many reasons beyond our control why we lost this election, but there are also some that we can control. As a leader in the youth movement for the Republican Party, I see that there is much that we can do to rapidly catch up with our counterparts on the left in the use of technology that will allow us to communicate more effectively with our contemporaries. However, it does not stop there.  It’s time to rebuild much of our party’s infrastructure, pursue some new strategies, and take a different approach to candidate recruitment and grassroots politics.

I don’t have all the answers, but there is a group of people that are pretty close. I have signed on, along with Blake and Ethan, to be part of a coalition to rebuild our party from the ground up. You can read the platform at the new site www.rebuildtheparty.com, join us, and follow the developments as they unfold.

The next few months will be crucial in taking our party in a new strategic direction for the next four years. We have a lot of catching up to do, and it has to start now. To wait would doom us to roam the wilderness longer than we have to

“Meet the new politics
Same as the old politics”

During his first press conference as President-Elect, Barack Obama was asked if he’d spoken too all the living presidents yet. His response:

“I have spoken to all of them who are living,” he says. “I didn’t want to get into a Nancy Reagan thing about doing any séances,” he says.

Wow. Picking on 90 year old former First Ladies. The Hope is fading…
