Royal Masset Dreaming of "Brighter Days Ahead for Repubs"

A blast from the past (3.00 / 1)

Trust me George, Obama and Gore are not electable.  I would love for either to be your nominee.

Massett Needs a New Crystal Ball (0.00 / 0)

It's time for Masset to upgrade his red crystal ball, or trade it in for a purple ball.  They're out of touch with the citizens of TX and the citizens of our nation.

I posted the above as a response to the unfounded predictions, mostly made by Republicans, that the media actually prints.  What methodology do they employ to come to these conclusions?

Remember some of the off-the-wall predictions Bush, Cheney, and Karl Rove were tossing to the media approaching the 06' elections?  The mass media writes this junk and calls these "expert predictions". I heard a lot of the same nonsense from Sean Hannity and a few other hate-radio hosts last month.  These predictions run the unfortunate risk of influencing public opinion if we don't have an educated base of citizens.

It's PR for Republicans.  It's not fair to the public that often only reads the front-page of the Statesman or other daily and does not have time to get the full story to form their opinion.

Two reasons for their predictions being so far off:

1. Rose-colored glasses
2. They don't understand the power of our grassroots movement...not just in TX, but across the country. We're taking this country back, back for the people, and the pundits of yesterday simply don't understand our methods, process, or success criteria.

This is like a brick-and-mortar executive trying to predict the internet revolution.  They're simply lost.    

Welcome to the people's business.  Welcome to our generation taking back our government.  

Best,
David

we've heard this before (0.00 / 0)

from our own party in 00/02/06...about bush.

if obama does as promised and re-inspires americans of all stripes to believe and to hope for a better country, we can refocus the enthusiam of 08 for many elections to come.

if the critical issues that inspired many Dems to turnout and volunteer for the first time are ignored, we will likely revert back to where we have been: no inspiration, no energy, no volunteer base.

Please refer to KT's signature.

Agreed (0.00 / 0)

I see Obama inspiring us for many years.  And I see a great future for TX Dems.  We've sparked a wildfire that will spread over TX.

Best,
David
