We need your help in naming the impact levels for 2008. We’d like to have 8 levels, but if you have a great theme that uses more or less we’d still love to hear it. Share your ideas and we’ll put the top 5 to a vote! Post you ideas in the comments below, or join the conversation in the Storm Discussion Group.
Check out the primary coverage from IN on Election Journal. They have same great footage of grassroots primary action and more importantly coverage of primary voter fraud.
We are pulling together our orders for the Fall 2008 chapter boxes and would love to hear ideas from you guys about what would help you get the job done. Email any suggestions to info@crnc.org with the subject line “Chapter Box” or leave a comment below.
Had some really fantastic conversations come out of the RNC meeting. Great to catch up with old campaign hands and get a sense of where everyone is these days.
It will be really exciting to watch the evolution of the ‘08 Victory program, I think there has been a lot of intelligent growth since the last iteration. There are some extremely smart folks working Victory this cycle and they are doing some very smart, very innovative things. It’s going to be an interesting season!
Charlie and I are in Albuquerque this week as guests with the RNC Chairmans Meeting. Up for discussion are potential plans to change the primary calendar schedule, as well as some presentations and speeches on the coming election.
The mood here is very positive. Party chairman and staff from all over the country are excited about Sen. McCain’s message. Enthusiasm about the campaign is palpable all over the hotel.
So far there has been a lengthy debate on a number of constitutional ammendments, including some changes to officer eligibility and the removal of National Committeeman as a an elected position and returning to an at will appointment.
Elections are scheduled soon hereafter, there have been rumors of contests but nothing overt thus far.
From the business meeting the group will move to a banquet dinner with NFL Hall of Famer Peter Boulware as its keynote speaker.
Update
Aaron Scott and his slate was elected unanimously. Congratulations!
Sorry for the camera phone, my sony is in need of repairs.
I touched in With Esther Clark this morning before my flight to get her take from last night, and thoughts on today.
I am currently waiting for the start of the GACR Convention this evening (where yours truly will say a few words about the fine state of Georgia College Republicans and discuss some CRNC programs).
After meeting with some folks this morning I have made my way to National Treasurer Esther Clarks couch to drop a few lines about this weekends events. GACR is expecting 80 people for tonights dinner and 100 for tomorrows business meeting. Speakers include State Party Chairman Sue Everhart, Lt Governer Casey Cagle, Ralph Reed (a CRNC Alum) and several others.
Esther is unopposed in her second term as State Chairman. Her ticket includes Jesse Tyler (Vice-Chairman), and Michelle Timmins (Financial Secretary). Interestingly GACR has only 3 elected offices.
