Local or Express?: Then There's Mark Halperin

After this, I'm not going to write about last night's speech anymore. But I did like this list, thanks to my husband David for telling me about it.

Marjorie said...: that was good. thanks for sharing it.

did you see the raft of posts comparing bobby jindal to kenneth the page on 30 rock? funny. gawker has a compilation of them.

the republicans have no idea how to respond publicly to obama. they're trotting out the same tired tropes -- with obama's stratospheric approval ratings, and the particularly deadly-to-the-opposition combo of trust in the president AND belief that we are in a scary place and bad times are ahead, they need to try a new strategy. scare tactics won't work because we're ALREADY scared. and "he's wrong! he's wrong!" won't work b/c americans don't agree. and "tax cuts! tax cuts!" won't work b/c he's already promsed them for most americans.

gotta do it like the oscar telecast, which had its lowest ratings ever last year. completely reinvent yourself, republicans. try something out-there, because your old branding and messaging aren't playing anymore. or hey, better yet, put aside your partisan bullshit and PITCH IN.; February 25, 2009 at 8:53 AM

Robin Aronson said...: I mean Mitch McConnell.; February 25, 2009 at 11:09 AM
