roots campDC

No posting from me for 2 weeks, and now 4 in one day. I guess I'm recharged after the madness of early November and a bad head cold.

I'm about to head out the door to drive down to DC for RootsCamp, but I had to small items two post before I go.

I posted this morning about the DailyKos Community's hostility toward young voters, so it's only fair that i now direct you to a post by Chris Bowers that glowingly reviews the current and future potential of the Millenial Generation to fueling the progressive movement. Nothing new to folks that have been reading us here, but a great piece none the less, and really nice to see it front paged on one of the bigger progressive blogs.

Finally, let me offer some constructive criticism once again to the College Democrats. Don't help your opponents get media coverage, and don't ever repeat their frame.

You probably heard that the College Republicans launched another outrageous stunt last week, offering a "white's only" scholarship at Boston University. The College Democrats responded with a press release.

So the College Republicans received national media attention and sparked debate among young voters and older voters alike. The College Democrats' responded, and got some national coverage. But for every news hit CDA got, they only gave the college republicans even more coverage.

We got whupped again by the more media savvy Republicans.
