Get 'Em When They're Young
Now Playing: Portishead / Dummy / Sour Times

Via many people, I forget whom (thank you blogsearch), this captivating account of the College Republicans National Convention is an absolute must read. Anyone who thinks Democrats lose elections because they think they're a snarky, petty, infighting, vindictive bunch while the GOP spends all its time thinking about winning should think twice after reading this article. The current chair of the national CR organization raised 200 large for his campaign, oversaw $9 million worth of fraudelent scamming of mostly senior citizens, started a whispering campaign that his opponent was gay, probably cheated to win his election, and still garners Establishment support.

Note that the College Republicans are bred to play The Game as a contact sport, and figure out how to get away with it later. Young Dems learn to play nice and fight for campaign finance and redistricting reform. And we wonder why we keep losing.
