Ringing In The New Cycle
CTBS partner Mindy Finn is credited as a key player in elevating the presence of the GOP online. As ex-Sen. Rick Santorum’s (R-PA) Dir. Of New Media and Technology in 2006. Finn oversaw the campaign’s text messaging initiative targeting women. Although the initiative received “a not surprising, but pleasant response” Finn says the greatest opportunity for campaigns to utilize the technology in ‘08 will be in practical grassroots. Aristotle’s Peter Kelly adds that new inventions, such as the iPhone, will "not change things radically, but will accelerate the adoption" of mobile usage in campaigns.

Though many on this blog and across the right-wing blogosphere are already opposed to supporting the NRSC due to its sliming of Steve Laffey in favor of uber-RINO Lincoln Chafee, N.Z. Bear at the TruthLaidBear has drawn up a pledge that is getting support from many blogs.

The gist of the pledge is that the grassroots community will oppose any Republican Senator running for re-election in 2008, and the NRSC if it chooses to support the candidates, should the Senator support a resolution, whether it’s binding or not, expressing opposition to the plan to send more troops to engage the enemy in Iraq.  The main Senators in question are Susan Collins from Maine, Gordon Smith from Oregon, and Norm Coleman from Minnesota.  To see what General Petraeus had to say about any such resolution, and its effect on both our troops and the enemy, you can read my earlier post.
I’ve already signed the pledge.  You can too by going here.
