I’m not sure what obligations a publisher has to the public, but I’m sure they exist. And I affirm them. I’ve lead teams and managed folks since I could walk. But professionally since I was 19. It’s a gift and a burden — nothing I’ve earned, but an honor nonetheless. I’ve also been publishing content [...]
I’m packing for a flight I have in a couple of hours, but received some awesome news: Taxby’s gone. A few days after the election I began calling friends all across the peach state, a state I used to call home. Knowing that the 2014 midterms would favor Republicans, spawning all sorts of tea party primaries (chief [...]
Since the bruising defeat Republicans like myself received in November, I’ve been searching for ways to innovate our approach to technology, organizing, and reaching new voters. One of the byproducts to innovation, is failure. Talking about failure is one of the necessary changes in Party culture that we must make if we’re going to succeed. [...]
What Taxby Saxby Chambliss knew privately became partially public yesterday when a polling company (that no one is a fan of) released numbers showing his vulnerability. The key takeaway is this simple; “just 38 percent of Republican primary voters want Chambliss to win the GOP nomination.” Poll respondents were given hypothetical These numbers mean nothing outside [...]
What’s worse than losing the most important election of our lifetime? Think on that for a moment before you read on. What could possibly be worse? * * * How about knowing that we are nearly one month from our loss, 23 months from midterm elections that’ll determine whether or not Republicans are a minority [...]
In a stunning act of desperation (ie. reelection), Senator Taxby Chambliss flew down to Georgia amid tough Fiscal Cliff talks to politrick Cobb County Republicans. Saxby apparently thinks too little of his good constituents to be brave and own up to his own position, instead choosing to blatantly lie to them. Why being a lying liar who lies? Well, he [...]
I’ve talked about it damn near every year for the past several. Want to start a book club with me? One of the awesome rewards of being in my line of work is that I get to meet some influential authors and writers. One day, I hope to join their ranks. But this day, I [...]
All too often the course of the statesman is an unpopular one. He does it for the good of his cause and the belief that suffering the consequences from his actions are noble. Saxby is for raising Georgians taxes and should in fact accept the electoral consequences that causes. After all, we are a Republic [...]
Losing any demographic or group of people carries broader implications, usually beyond that particular group. For instance, the gender gap allows a Democratic fundraising and messaging edge; Painting Republicans as “anti-immigrant” hinders potential Republican outreach in minority communities, reducing entire sections of states from contention. Liberals caught insulting Bible-believing Christians and Appalachian voters have put [...]
Never, ever trust a blue dog Democrat… Not ever. In 2010, I helped organize activists in at least twenty-six congressional districts that had the terrible misfortune of being caught in between time-space and seemingly parallel universes — otherwise referred to as a blue dog district. These are districts where children tout more knowledge of civil [...]
