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 [...]
Win $100 for Reporting Campus Leftist Abuse!
As you may know, I’ve been working with CampusReform.org through my job at the Leadership Institute. Since our official launch, we’ve been hard at work, helping conservative organizations across the country network and stay active on their campuses.

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 [...]
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.
