I've looked at most of them and the one grassroots organization I've seen that ‘gets’ what conservatives need to do to win is Modern Conservative/Anystreet.org

One of the main problems is that for the most part, conservatives have missed the boat when it comes to social media.

The political conversation has moved. Yes, talk radio is still important however; the masses, the community and the way to get the message and the vote out is through social media.

Moderate Conservative/ Anystreet.org understands that. Few others do.

If we don't embrace technology and adapt to this medium quickly, we will continue to lose elections.

People keep talking about how badly liberals do in talk radio...It doesn't matter much with the social media machine they have built online.

There's a lot of catching up to do and it takes time. If people don't start now, trust me, the result in 2010 won't be much different.

Yes, the Republican/conservative brand is seen by many as a group of old school old farts.So who did we put us against Obama , Mc Cain, good move.
We also need to play their game . We have to seize every chance to unload on the left , just as they did to us.we have to be extremely aggressive , sneaky and relentless on every single solitary point and bill the try to force down our throats.

Thanks, mimmson - I will check this out. I agree with you totally about the social media. I would add that the older people (age 75+) are still a big voting block and they get their news from ABC/NBC/CBS/CNN/Fox. When conservatives have an opportunity to be interviewed on these shows, they can’t go rambling on and on. The Left knows this - they keep their responses short & sweet and repetitious to the point they’re making. Gingrich is a very smart guy - I just don’t think anyone is going to listen to him after the first 30 seconds if he hasn’t made his point up front. The internet must be used to help the young Conservatives & Boomers out there who rely heavily on the ‘Net. Let’s use the Playbook of the Left for what worked just as they did with the Right.
