The future of political volunteerism launched on April 3, 2010. I’ve held off jumping into the iPad fray for the most part, waiting until I can actually buy the 3G version outright before making my own conclusions. But there was always one thing I knew the iPad could truly revolutionize- and it’s already in development. [...]

The Youth Vote and the 2009 Elections
Sarah Burris of Future Majority beats me to the punch in rebutting a blog post about a “Rising Tide of the GOP Youth,” as described by The Weekly Standard‘s Rachel Hoff. Burris writes: First, while Rachel is right to congratulate McDonnell for his campaign’s youth outreach, I hardly think it has anything to do with [...]
The Best of the Post-2009 Election Spin
I was originally planning on offering my take on what the outcome of the 2009 elections “meant.” In fact, I still reserve the right to do so at some point in the near future. That said, there were a couple of post-2009 pieces I read lately that I found to be very important reads and [...]
Death Panels: When a Health Care Video is Worth 1,000 Words
Although I’ve previously offered my two-cents based on my personal health concerns, I’ve been meaning to write something fairly extensive and insightful about why we must oppose government-run health care. Today, I watched a video on YouTube that is worth a blog post’s worth of words, and much more. Regardless of where you stand on [...]
Why a 2010 Blowout Will Not Mean Things Are Better
After the 2002 and 2004 elections, Republicans celebrated electoral victories that many thought would put them in the position to maintain a long-term majority. In turn, Democrats pushed the panic button and began looking for ways to turn things around. Likewise, after 2006 and 2008, it was the opposite effect, with Democrats claiming a permanent [...]
Once Again, the RNC Stands Pat While the DNC Innovatively Involves Young Voters
While the RNC continues to stand pat instead of giving young voters a legitimate role in the future of the Party — or even simply establishing its own Young Voter Outreach Arm to compete with the Democratic National Committee’s Youth Council — the Democrats continue to find new and innovative ways to involve young voters [...]
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 [...]
It’s Time for a Complete Reboot
One of my lesser known traits is that I’m a huge Trekkie (and I don’t say “huge” lightly). However, the Star Trek universe had recently been undergoing a pretty substantial collapse, culminating in the closing of Star Trek: The Experience in Las Vegas. Desperately trying to revive the franchise, Paramount Pictures contacted J.J. Abrams, Roberto [...]
