...and the apprentice gets the hammer

We have lost Matt for a couple days. The Texas GOP Convention is flyin' him out there to host his renown campaign communication training workshop. If you're not one of the 700 folks already registered to learn from Matt how to become "great communicaters" (caps reserved for Reagan), that's okay: it's in his book...

But Matt's absence also means...more of me. So, I have an hypothesis that I want to focus on tomorrow. Send your thoughts to: asb37@georgetown.edu.

Here it is, two-fold:
1) Republican philosophy is more conducive to local and state elections than typical Democratic ideology.
2) Republicans fair better in local and state elections (in this latest, most people say, 6th party-system--though I've heard 5th and 7th), and will do so through 2008

With your help, this may just turn into a strategy memo that I'll send to Matt in Texas.
