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.

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

If you are a regular reader of this blog, you know I have on a [...]
The Steele Shakeup
A lot of changes are happening at the Republican National Committee. With Michael Steele as the new chairman, the RNC is refreshing its entire staff and opening its ears to outside ideas. Although I had previously endorsed Saul Anuzis for the position, I am cautiously optimistic with the approach Steele has taken thus far. In [...]
Steele will be effective as RNC chairman.
