2008 Election Dissection
|
|
Last night, Vivian Paige, Brian Kirwin, and myself participated in an “Election Dissection” in Virginia Beach, sponsored the Nimmo Republican Women’s Club.
The crowd, which included Del. Sal Iaquinto, RPVB Chair Kenny Golden, and Virginia Beach Progressive Blogger Joel McDonald, involved some spirited discussion on the part of all.
Topics we discussed included:
Consultants and Negative Campaigning
The future of the GOP
MSM
Social Marketing
Gov. Sarah Palin
Fulfilling campaign promises
Motivating conservatives and reaching out to minorities
New and minority voter turnout
and, of course, our thoughts on
What happened to bring about the result?
All in all, it was a fun and informative night.
