After getting punked in 2008, the GOP should consider a new approach to the primary system. Letting Iowa and the North East dictate our candidate doesn’t work.
Letting the MSM choose all of the Demcocrat activists (even the “youtube” debate was stacked with activists) who will ask the debate questions doesn’t work.
Letting Democrats “eliminate” their presidential primaries in Michigan and Florida (and encouraging Democrats to cross over to foul up the GOP primaries) doesn’t work.
The editorial is exactly right. I believe Obama is destined to be a one term president. Historically, the last and only time America has had three consecutive two-termers was Jefferson-Madison-Monroe. More importantly, he’s demonstrated time and again that he just does not have a clue and we’re in too deep a financial hole for him to buy one.
But that doesn’t make a hill of beans if we don’t start building a power base in Congress for the next president to push his (or her) agenda through. We’re in too deep a hole in Congress for the next president to pull in enough conservatives to gain a governing majority in 2012 alone. We need some pickups to 2010 to get us within scoring distance.
Great post.
‘Russ Feingold of Wisconsin’
If our current AG (JB Van Hollen) doesn’t run for Governor, he should tackle Feingold’s job.
There hasn’t been a PEEP from the lame-o, impotent, panty-waste Republican GOP on ANYTHING other than the Governor’s race in 2010.
Wish I could say that I’d think Wisconsin could help the cause, but it’s not looking that way right now from mid-2009...
One can only hope that Conservative planners are, as we speak, very carefully, plotting and scheming a winning strategy for 2010 in each Congressional race and each Senate race.
Every race should/must be contested!
Another thing that Republicans should focus on is that libDems will try to make illegals LEGAL, and the Dems will win elections for decades. We must work to stop this.
