FIRST, we will need to clarify the *message.* This process correlates to resolving platform issues prior to launching a marketing campaign similar to the one which helped to elect O. The time to begin *planning* is now.

Constructively, we’re expecting healthy, vigorous, and opposing discussions among us, having varying shades of conservative thought. We have high hopes for 2012 so let’s start rebuilding.

Once our message is clear, and leaders have been selected, the role of the Internet for this marketing campaign can be simply – C2 – Command and Control. This is how O was able to (ahem) raise so much money “from individuals” and mobilize a “virtual army” of volunteers, especially youths.

Bottom line: O’s Campaign was well-funded, a polarization of the previous Presidency, and aggressive. Very aggressive.

Looking forward to talking w/ you!

p.s. I wish all Americans would show respect for the OFFICE of the POTUS. I’m disgusted by the Bush-bashing, even the Clinton-bashing, etc. C’mon, this is our POTUS, people. There are major threats we face; I’m glad that O has had the good sense to ensure continuity in Nat’l Security, by persuading SecDef Gates to serve at least another year during a time of war. Logical. Patriotic.

Excellent roundup and overview.

I was for Steele until I saw his website and realized that just because you promise tech doesn’t mean you have any idea what it is (see Mike Duncan for a lite version).

Dawson is disappointing and untouchable as far as I’m concerned. What’s more odd? Dawson has a better success rate with African Americans than Steele did/does.

I’m left with Saul – but I have yet to fully agree with him on everything. “One email at a time.” No, How about 10 million emails at once. That’ll do just fine. Emails don’t convert voters.
