Well, because of the FR outage yesterday I didn’t get to post the links and analysis on the preview. I did them and will post them here just because, but obviously they don’t mean anything now that the shows are over.
I slept in this morning and intentionally avoided both the shows and the thread. I needed a break. In fact I’m not certain I’m going to continue the preview thread. I probably will but I’m not certain.
This is not like when I dropped out at the beginning of the year. I’m bummed out by Tuesday but not burned out. Instead I’m going to be shifting my focus from presidential politics to local politics and get LOTS more involved. I think this is the direction we should concentrate on for now and I will be actively promoting this notion on FR.
Tip O’Neill famously said “all politics is local” and he was right. We need to get involved in the county GOP organizations where we live and learn about the people who are now running our party (or for conservative Dems their party). Where they’re effective we need to find out ways to help. Where they’re not we need to find someone competent to replace them.
That’s my first target here in southwest Tennessee. We have a county GOP head who put up a local guy as a primary challenger to the very good incumbent Marsha Blackburn. His reasoning was that he wanted someone from our county in the seat, even though Blackburn’s been great for us and the district goes almost all the way to Nashville. She beat the challenger and ended up winning reelection, but this year, of all years, she didn’t need the hassle. And we didn’t need the risk. He also has failed to recruit viable candidates for the districts that are currently held by Dems in our area for both Congress and state offices. He needs to go.
I will, over time, expand my scope to “local politics” in other locations. I’m going to solicit from other Freepers info on those races and local party organizations that need help or opposition and find out what I can do. I have a friend at work who is a grass roots organizer for the NRA and I’ve told him I’m available to help, whether its stuffing envelopes or making phone calls. I’m going to get involved.
More on this over the next few weeks, but its my answer to the disaster that has occurred to over republic.
I’ll post the show links next on this thread.
