Building a Rightroots
Ace of Spades HQ —
Building a Rightroots I never was all that big into this idea. I think it's now necessary if we're ever going to start winning like we used to. The GOP needs to do its part, too. It shouldn't be up to John Hawkins to compile a list of House GOP challengers. The GOP needs a permanent online liaison, not just charged with sending out press releases and that sort of thing, but with providing information about candidates -- who's vulnerable, who's a solid challenger, etc. I wrote someone a while ago asking them specifically where I should ask readers for help in phone banking ...
Dear GOP,
INSTAPUTZ —
Two of your best and brightest have awesome ideas for the future of your sorry-ass party. First, Ace: We need an army of Sarah Palins in 2010. Second, John Hawkins: What the GOP needs to realize is that bloggers, some of the better ones anyway, tend to have their fingers on the pulse of conservatism.

Personally the prospect of yet another conference call where I get the talking points I already knew (based on common sense) and was already getting out anyway isn't all that appealing. Ace links to John Hawkins of Right Wing News , who writes that Republican operatives don't get what blogs ...
What It Will Take to Build a Rightroots Movement
The Next Right —
... Kos." Well, if not being like Kos means not winning, then I certainly can appreciate the intellectual rectitude at play here. But for those of you who want to move the Republican Party in a different direction, you might want to try something else.
Ace encapsulates the right's reluctance to engage electorally, and what I suspect is going to be the rude awakening that comes as a result of that approach:
I never was all that big into this idea. I think it's now necessary if we're ever going to start winning like we used to.
