I Got Yer Ideology Right Here
The Next Right — ... I just got done writing a post about how macro factors like candidates (and ideology fits in this too) drive elections more than tactics. But it is bupkis to suggest that rebuilding our infrastructure can happen only once we've settled on an ideological direction or a leader. We need to be doing both simultaneously. We need to be building a bigger catcher's mitt to capture the enthusism of a newly energized fastball-throwing base. If that enthusiasm doesn't eventually materialize, we're going to have bigger problems than having worried about infrastructure too much. At least we ...

Weekly Standard Blog — ... and Freddie? David Gregory gets "Meet the Press." Yesterday, the world talked only about the Clintons and their drama. Change!

If Saxby does manage ...

Racist Georgia Voters Might Not Turn Out For Jim Martin Because He’s White
Say Anything — ... According to polling there’s been a marked downturn in voter support for Jim Martin (currently challenging Republican Senator Saxby Chambliss in a run-off in Georgia) among blacks. ...

Saxby Chambliss's victory
Betsy's Page — ... . As Patrick Ruffini pointed out yesterday, a substantial victory by Chambliss would be an indication that Democratic victories across the board on November 4 were a result of Obama's popularity and not an indication that the all these red states were truly moving to the left. It's in Georgia that we may begin to see indications of a natural tightening of the House generic ballot for 2010. And it's not so much the African American vote -- though that's a big deal in Georgia -- as it is the youth vote. If 18-29 voters are back to 12% of the electorate (where they were in '06) ...
