The Grassroots Can Save the Democrats

By Joe Trippi

The staggering defeat of the Democratic Party, and its ever-accelerating death spiral weren't obvious from the election results. Two factors masked the extent of the party's trouble. Without the innovation of Internet-driven small-donor fund-raising and a corresponding surge in support from the nation's youngest voters, John Kerry would have suffered a dramatically larger electoral defeat. And the true magnitude of the Democrats abject failure at the polls in 2004 would have been more clearly revealed.

Lay Off Mayor Newsom

As the saying from Network goes, "I'm mad as hell and I'm not gonna take it anymore!"

As if "losing" the Election last week wasn't bad enough, now I have to sit and listen to people blaming San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom for our electoral woes.

Moral this and moral that.  Values this and values that.  Evangelicals this and evangelicals that.

According to dictionary.com, morals arise from conscience or the sense of right and wrong.
