The narrowing and possible elimination of Martha Coakley’s lead in even Democratic polls shows that the discontent felt by bread-and-butter voters is real. While the jobless rate is holding at ten percent nationally, indications are that this is due to more would-be laborers giving up on trying to find work rather than on anything the [...]

On the Nonsense In Norway
President Obama was as surprised as the rest of the world when he learned of the news Friday morning that he had received the 2009 Nobel Prize for Peace. It is true that the Obama administration has been undertaking recent efforts towards the promotion of peace. Secretary of State Clinton just recently represented the U.S. administration in [...]
President Obama Needs to Lead by Example.
The President of the United States, in an email sent out this week, is encouraging his supporters to fight lies. But, if President Obama is serious about honesty in politics, he should begin with his own administration and past claims.
As a candidate for the office he now holds, Barack Obama pledged to use the public financing [...]
Senate successes require sound strategy and sound policy.
Fellow NextGenGOP contributor Abel S. Delgado, in his post entitled “Draft Ridge and Castle for 2010 Senate Races,” is right to encourage the Republican Party to maintain a strong center, particularly in the Northeast, where GOP fortunes have diminished substantially since the 1990’s. Mike Castle should be supported in the Delaware Senate race in 2010, and Ridge [...]

Cents and Sensibility
Apologies to Ms. Austen aside, I’d like to use my first post to answer Aaron’s original question: how can the Republican Party get back on track?
The first step is to figure out why we derailed. I know better and brighter minds have done this throughout the blogosphere, but I like to identify problems before I [...]
A Word on ‘Young Voter’ Turnout
I just finished voting at my polling place in the city of Pittsburgh. I live in what you can definitely call a college town – immediately adjacent to the University of Pittsburgh campus. The line was about an hour long, consisted of roughly 75-100 people, and was probably 50-60% college students. I first voted at [...]
Final Electoral Predictions: What a McCain Upset Would Look Like
At this point, I don’t think that any of us can effectively predict what the outcome of tomorrow’s elections will be. Quite frankly, I’m not even sure that we’ll know the who the next President of the United States is going to be for many hours, if not days, after polls close. That said, it [...]
