We Got Pwnd
James Richardson's Skepticians — John McCain ’s loss ushered in broad and swift accusations of poor campaigning, poor messaging, and, in essence, taking too many pages from Bob Dole ’s failed ’96 campaign. Jilted staffers, now jockeying for jobs in the opposition, are hemorrhaging campaign secrets, and yes, rumors at light speed pace (i.e., Q: Where’s “Africa,” Sarah ...

We Got Pwnd, Now What? The Race for the RNC Chairmanship

Other liberal bloggers are holding their fire, as they don't believe that Obama's policies will necessarily reflect the ideological composition of his cabinet. Markos Moulitsas ...

Steps Necessary for GOP Rebuilding
GayPatriot — Glenn Reynolds is right.  There is lots of interesting stuff today at the Next Right.  A lot of it goes into great detail about a post I had planned for today. I had intended to list the points I think the next chairman of the Republican National Committee (RNC) needs address and offer some thoughts on that race.  The bloggers there go into much great detail, so in my list of where, I believe, the GOP needs works, I’ll, as appropriate, link their posts.  Patrick Ruffini thinks we need do three things:  Rebuild our infrastructure, Find our message, Find new leaders.  I think it involves a little more than that. ...
