“We’ve got to give our political organization a very serious proctology exam”

Step one is to do nothing. Seriously. I don’t care if it’s Palin, Perry, Santorum, Bush, Zombie Reagan, or whoever. Don’t talk to them, don’t start any balls rolling for 2016, don’t do anything.

For all the talk of the 0bama team’s supposed brilliance in micro-targeting low-info non-voters, nobody seems to remember that Team Romney practically fired up their 2012 campaign as they were sweeping away the confetti from the 2008 convention. 0bama could see two people coming, and had strategies to spend the next four years salting the earth against them: Palin and Romney. Palin had the sense not to walk into the trap. Whoever we run in ’16 should only become clear about 18 months before the 2016 election. Don’t give the incumbent Democrats five years to prepare.

Secondly, we need to break the machine. A disorganized community can’t be herded to the polls, and without freebies, it shall be harder to lure them. Pop the higher education bubble, by whatever means we can. 18-24′s are already driven to the polls by their overpaid professors. We can’t make ‘em any more likely to vote against us, and there’s a chance skipping out on Liberal U’s Wymyn’s Studies classes in favor of math classes at the local junior college may make them less likely to show up against us. Let the liberals crash the tax base, and then let’s pop some popcorn while we watch which of their incompatible consituencies they screw in favor of another. Be sure to remind the screwed at every opportunity how the other guy was more loved by “Santa” than they were.
