A Turnout Effort is Not a Message
by Rod D. Martin, J.D.
Founder and Chairman, TheVanguard.Org


With the zeal of converts, Republican leaders thought they'd found the magic bullet. They could ignore the big, visionary stuff that characterized Reagan-era campaigns -- and Bush's presidential runs too -- because they could turn out the vote.

They couldn't have been more wrong. A turnout effort cannot be better than the message motivating the turnout. This is Rule Number One.

A Luta Continua

Exercise your First Amendment right to petition: tell them how we -- the vast majority of Americans -- want them to rule, today.

They assumed that the partisan gerrymandering of 2000 left them invulnerable and they dipped into the till to get earmarks for their favorite lobbyists in return for contributions and free vacations. It's time to get rid of this kind of leadership and to bring in people with a fine, tough partisan and ideological edge.

The Road Not Taken
by Hugh Hewitt
Nationally Syndicated Columnist and Talk Radio Host


The post-mortems are accumulating, but I think the obvious has to be stated: John McCain and his colleagues in the Gang of 14 cost the GOP its Senate majority, plus any chance of reshaping the judiciary from here on in. They must be held responsible.
