Minnesota Campaign 2008 Has Begun

It’s been a while since I have attended my district’s BPOU meeting. After the election, I figured I had best not miss it. Glad I made it.

After the general business of the meeting, including getting reports from my State Legislator, Pat Garofalo, discussion of what happened in the election (election fallout) and what to change. The general consensus seems to be that the Conservative Message wasn’t there during the campaign.

One of the guys at the meeting summed what has to be done quite loud. Th message is “limited government.” That’s what drove the GOP into the majority party in the ’90s. Since then, some Republicans have strayed from that message and have been spending the public monies like, as Laura Ingraham says, drunken sailors.

The campaign for 2008 has begun at the local district level. We didn’t lose, all our state reps in our district won their elections, as did Congressman John Kline. The rest of the state did not fair as well by a long shot. Minnesota, like the Federal level, has both houses in the control of the Democrats, the executive is a Republican. We have time to reverse some of November’s elections, to rebuild and energize the base, and help the other districts in the state find electable candidates.

It is doable.

The main thing to do is get the Conservative Message out, consistently, while fielding candidates who will deliver on that message.

The process has already begun.
