Oh, there are some under-50 folks in the House, the question is which ones would be suitable to put out there. Some are telegenic and able to convey a good message, it’s just a matter of identifying which ones. But it also has to start with leadership, too, and they’re not getting the job done. Newt couldn’t withstand the blistering attacks when he was Speaker beyond that short 4-year period. Of course, they’ll attack our people ruthlessly, regardless. You’ve seen what they’ve (the media/Dems) done to Governor Palin with their pathologically unhinged, slanderous and false attacks that are best described as evil.
Yeah, I’m having a hard time coming up with them, too. But I’m not talking just about elected officials. I’m talking about “commentators”.
I guess what I’m getting at is this: this is beginning to look and feel to me like 1994 when a national game plan worked. We need telegenic people carrying our message (and counterpunching) on TV and in the media. They don’t have to be running for anything. But they should have a tight, consistent, theme....maybe even another ‘contract’.
I haven’t thought it all through, but it’s better than scatterred responses from individual candidates. They can use local media.
