As an administrator of this blog, I can view links made to NextGenGOP.com itself or to particular posts here. Today, I had intended to tackle the latest folly espoused by the Speaker of the House. However, a link made to a post on this site instead drew my attention.

On “Real” Diversity and Thinking Critically
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 young [...]
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 [...]

The “Far Right,” The Filibuster-Proof Majority, and Young Voters
Over at left-of-center Mother Jones magazine, Jonathan Stein and Nick Baumann argue that “the far right handed Dems a 60-vote majority.” Stein and Baumann continue:
The Republican Party has moved dramatically rightward in the age of Obama, and allowed people like Newt Gingrich, Dick Cheney, Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, and Sarah Palin to become its most [...]

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.

Grading the RNC Chair Candidates’ Young Voter Outreach Plans
With the RNC Chair election rapidly approaching, I wanted to take a look at how each candidate plans to appeal to young voters. Specifically, I will be referencing each candidate’s plans and platforms as outlined on their respective websites, along with their responses to the question regarding youth voters at the RNC Chair debate hosted [...]
