Interesting. Mr.Vigurie raises tons of money—but only if the election is nationalized on broad national issues that he can promote through emails and mail solicitations to single issue voters.

His company doesn’t work on local elections for local candidates as far as I know.

Viguerie has been at it since mailing lists were maintained on reel-to-reel tape.

He makes a persuasive case in his article. Wave elections are not fought on local issues. "We're not Obama" is a weak strategy. As he points out, a cautious, first do no harm, prevent defense is a good way to throw away a historic opportunity to damn the Democrat brand for a generation.

This is not to say that local issues don't matter. But the GOP needs to project a bold and optimistic vision of reform and growth for the nation's future. Voters of all "identities" need to be persuaded how conservatism can help them, why they should abandon the 'Rat plantation.
