Since President Obama named Judge Sonia Sotomayor and his first Supreme Court Nominee I’ve been asked plenty of questions from friends on the right and on the left about what I thought about her. At first, I didn’t think my opinion of her nomination was any more important than any other Republican’s just because we [...]

Crist Endorsement a Missed Opportunity
People are making a pretty big fuss out of the NRSC’s decision to oppose Marco Rubio in Florida’s senate primary, but for several different reasons. Various pundits have called for the NRSC to stay out of such races entirely, to sway Rubio to run for Governor instead, to support Rubio because he’s more conservative, and [...]
Sotomayor Nomination Reveals Much About Obama.
Judge Sotomayor’s record as a federal circuit court judge may not offer much insight to where she stands on the controversial issues facing the nation today. Her tenure as a jurist does reveal much about President Obama’s thinking. Of the many great legal minds of the federal circuit, left, right, and center, the President of the [...]
Health Care Policy Discussions Should Be Expanded
The discussion of health care reform has grown in recent weeks across various segments of American society. Debate is underway in Congress as bloggers reveal themselves to be an incubator for ideas, unlike the Republican Party bureaucracy. Fellow NextGenGOP contributor Gideon D’Assandro has offered valuable insights into this topic. Other collaborative political blogs (such as The Next Right [...]
Health Care Follow-up

Rubio vs. Crist Will Prove Who Controls the GOP
For much of the build up to the 2008 Democratic primaries, the consensus among political oddsmakers, pollsters, and politicos (myself included) was that Hillary Clinton was virtually a shoo-in to win the Democratic nomination. After all, the Clintons were the most powerful name in the Democratic Party, and as a result the Democratic machine fought [...]
Health Care Messaging
One of my pet peeves is the inability of Republicans to properly message their ideas as well as Democrats, making their solutions look inferior, even when they’re not. Because the Left has the advantage of throwing your money at any given problem, they will always appear to be more proactive and giving on the surface, [...]

Two days ago, I wrote that we must give young voters a legitimate role in the future of the Republican Party. The clock is ticking for these crucial changes to take place. Recognizing this, the team here at NextGenGOP has launched the Petition for Our Future. Now you can join the many voices asking Chairman [...]
Obama’s Strategy for Defeating Republicans: Divide and Conquer
If there was any doubt about President Obama’s political genius after the election campaign was over, the POTUS certainly has done plenty to quell it. The man has to be given his fair share of credit, not for turning the country around, but for doing his best to keep the Republican Party down. When he [...]
