Republicans Are Energized; We'd Better Be Too
Tuesday, March 31, 2009
Courtesy of Too Conservative, the pro-Republican crowd's long, standing ovation for our friend Bob McDonnell (after the intro by his daughter) tells us what we're going to be up against this summer and fall. The fact is, Republicans are energized this year like Democrats were last year, 2 years ago, and 4 years ago. In contrast, I'm concerned that after two narrow special election victories (Charniele Herring and Sharon Bulova) which should have been much larger, and one special election loss (Moon) that should have been a win, Democrats are a bit passive right now, maybe still celebrating our victories this past November. That's fine to a point, but after June 9 -- if not sooner -- we will need to ramp up the energy level fast if we hope to beat Bob McDonnell, Bill Bolling, and possibly Ken Cuccinelli this November.
