I would like to see the following vision put into play. Imagine thousands of events like this taking place over the next year. Imagine the full mobilization of a reinvigorated GOP support network, and, the creation of the "mother-of-all-web-communities," far outclassing and outmarshaling anything we've seen from the Deaniacs.

You *did* notice what happened to the Deaniacs?

They thought they were part of a huge mass movement.

In reality, they were just talking to themselves.

Repeating their strategy is going to generate the same result.

Exactly right. That's why we would not follow that approach. The only things in common would be web use and meet ups. In all other respect, aggressive influencing, recruitment and embedding would be needed. The youth outreach piece is key.
