This is what I've determined to do and am doing. I am contributing money to Republican candidates in close but winnable congressonal races both in and out of my own state; I am assisting directly with one House race.

May I suggest FReepers do the same? Do not contribute to or support congressional campaigns that are really not contestable. Support the razor-thin contests where a little additional money for the conservative candidate might tip or keep the balance in favor of the conservative. Begin by looking at races in your own states, but also look nationally. Encourage friends, family, and associates to do the same.

Do not waste money or support on symbolic third-party candidates.

I will send no money to assist Bush in his reelection bid. I will not vote for him in November.

If Kerry or some other Democrat dimbulb gets elected, I will be pushing the Republican-controlled Congress hard to tie him up so tight he can't breathe. We will essentially have NO president for four years--just a caretaker.

I have found that individual members of Congress are far easier to pressure to do the right thing than Bush and Rove are.

The last and perhaps most important part of the strategy is immediately to search out an electable conservative to groom and support for the 2008 presidential election run. That may be Governor Owens of Colorado. It is not Rudy Guiliani. He belongs in the Senate where his liberal tendencies can be moderated.

Good analysis as usual, Kevin. But, Bill Owens, is a Reagan-like conservative?

Your strategy replaces a strong CiC with a weak one at wartime. Or do you believe that money is more important than winning the war?

That's what many of you seem to have decided. Money trumps everything.
