The Healthcare Debate, Simplified.

Recently I received a Facebook message from a friend I hadn’t heard from in a while, which started off with “you have to be the most vocal person on my friend list about all things politics.” Intrigued, I read on.

Serena, Kanye, Wilson and the GOP’s Crisis of Coverage

Serena Williams lost the tennis match.
But for the most part, unless we had been watching the game, we wouldn’t all know that.

But, again, most people not watching wouldn’t have focused [...]

Next Gen GOP Social Media Post Awarded at 2009 AAPC Convention

To all of those who read the gigantic piece I wrote on Successful Online Campaigning: A Focus on the 2008 Presidential Campaign, first of all, I salute you. The piece itself took a considerably long time to put together, but I believe it was worth the effort. Apparently, the American Association of Political consultants agrees- this [...]
