The Key is The Good Folks in the Middle! Have I Said It Before?

The GOP may have lost the battle for the soul of this nation in the form of ObamaCare.  Why have the Democrats persisted in ObamaCare in the face of 56% disapproval?  Because the Democrats think they can reclaim the middle,  the independent voters, in time for the 2010 election.  They don't believe they will pay a price.  How can they not believe they will pay a price?  Because the GOP has been fighting the good fight inside the Beltway.  But, both inside and outside the Beltway, the Democrats just see business as usual.  WE have failed.

A great deal of recent blogging here has been to coax the GOP to try new means and new modes to reach the The Good Folks in the Middle.  Firing up the base doesn't do it, isn't doing it and hasn't done it.


A little confidence in conservative principles and a little testing of new techniques is what is - was - will be required.
