I just sent your suggestion about Clawswitz to Bobby
Eberle over at the GOP website. We need a Clauwswitz /
Sun Tzu bootcamp for our candidates. It could only help.
While we're talking about it, I left my women's Republican
organization because it was petty. Not once, did they
attempt to teach how to engage the enemy with a persuasive
defense of conservatism. What I did learn was that the
organization was impotent.

Give Bobby my best. We had a good discussion over drinks a few CPACs ago.
We (our family) have given up on playing an active role within the party. As you point out, its petty, and attracts lots of self serving folks. We have more influence through pure conservative channels, where we can support Republican candidates selectively, so that our money and time go to the Santorums and not the Chaffees of the party. I particularly like the Heritage Foundation, and The Club for Growth, as well as ISI for the work they do in restoring higher education.
On your other point, Sun Tzu is always worth reading, but a good conservative should be conversant with the classics in general.
