I am sure he is and is wondering what the hell to do. Steele has been ineffective in moving the ball forward. I have been on Sarah’s facebook page all day. it is liberal troll bait to the max. They are really running around like chickens with their heads cutoff. Slime & flith – that is the typical Obama supporter. And they like what Obama is doing. Sarah is getting about 7 new subscribers per second.

She needs to start blogging too….I know a real cool right-wing blog..

Here is Clay Shirky from TEDBlog:

There was fury on Twitter against CNN for not adequately covering the situation. Was that justified?

In a way it wasn’t. I’m sure that for the majority of the country, events in Iran are not of grave interest, even if those desperate for CNN’s Iran info couldn’t get access to it. That push model of one message for all is an incredibly crappy way of linking supply and demand.

CNN has the same problem this decade that Time magazine had last decade. They simultaneously want to appeal to middle America and leading influencers. Reaching multiple audiences is increasingly difficult. The people who are hungry for info on events of global significance are used to instinctively switching on CNN. But they are realizng that that reflex doesn’t serve them very well anymore, and that can’t be good for CNN.

Conservatives in America are roughly in the same position that dissidents in Tehran are: the official state media cannot be trusted to get the truth out. But the walls are crumbling, surely as in Washington DC as they are in Tehran.

doing what she’s doing which is driving the left absolutely nuts.

“where there is no vision the people perish”

Lead on Sarah, lead on!

About half of the Republican Party precinct committeeman slots are not filled.

Here’s a video a fellow by the name of Jim Condit, Jr. of Ohio put together in an attempt to explain to his fellow Republicans the power of the precinct committeeman and the need to fill these unfilled slots with solid, Constitution-loving and respecting conservatives.

Here’s the URL in case the embedding didn’t work:

Imagine the same video on Sarah’s Facebook page, with Sarah making the pitch and with the “production values” being first-rate.

I am crossing my fingers that she decided long ago that her immediate goal in life will now be to fill up all those empty precinct committeemen slots with conservatives. And that after July 26 she’ll lead that effort. Some of her comments in her speech on July 3 hinted at as much.

Do you recall Michael Steele ever saying, “Hey, you registered Republicans, we need you to come into the Party as active precinct committeemen because about half our slots are unfilled and maybe that’s why we got our clocks cleaned last time and maybe we can have better leadership and get-out-the-vote efforts in 2010 if you’ll help us. And, oh, by the way, you get to impact, directly, whether I continue in my job as the GOP Chairman”? Ever see a video even remotely like Jim Condit’s on any GOP web site?

Well, maybe we’ll see one soon on Sarah’s Facebook site.

is refreshing. Knowing you to be a man of solid intellect, I have no doubt that you have considered all the possible pluses and minuses and arrived at your conclusion independently, regardless of what others may or may not say about it.

Like you, my admiration for Sarah Palin is profound. Politics as usual is over with and has been since Obama was elected. I am interested in seeing how Ms. Palin intends to play this game. Whatever happens, it will be fascinating to watch!

she lost her race. Her poll numbers are not that good. It is true the press has been absolutely horrific to her, but Reagan knew how to handle the press. Recent news on conservative sites say GOP 2010 hopefuls are steering clear of Palin; that should tell you something.

She might rise again and become our leader. On the other hand, I am sure we will see another 7 or so throw their collective hats in the ring. I wish Sarah all the best, but to compare her to Reagan diminishes that hero.

I may have gone too far, but there is trepidation out there. Of course, a big Republican problem lately is trepidation.

I cant let her go as long as the press is still obsessing over her. This is a suprise.

I think it’s an interesting comparison between Obama’s use of social media and Palin’s. Politics aside. I love that she “circumvents the press.” I’m a young person with no allegiance an anchor man or TV station. I think all television news, cable included, is biased. Listen to all sides for some balance, and entertainment value. I’m a highly critical person so it’s difficult to watch most news. Sure plenty of stations are pro-Obama, and they’re liberal, and it’s obvious and somewhat insulting. Then I switch to Fox and it’ll be predictably the complete opposite. They’re interviewing a priest on an issue and a country music star is their special guest. Nothing wrong with either, I just don’t want to see them on news programs. Churches and stages…I think Shepherd Smith might be the most balanced one over there. But this is a rant I didn’t intend. Just mean to say that the press is indeed unfair and the majority of it does lead one way but I believe the answer should be balance not just overcompensating by going the opposite direction. It’s like envisioning television news being comprised entirely of Keith Oberman and Bill O’Reilly figures completely lacking objectivity, fairness, or credibility.

Back to complimenting Palin on her use of social media…

The White House has done a poor job of engagement. They’re promoters. During the campaign it was more of a two way street. Of course that’s bound to happen. Typical of most organizations executing a marketing plan, once the call to action (purchase, attendance, participation, vote) or goal has been accomplished, there’s not the same attention given to the relationship. In a shallow sense, think of it as the difference between dating and marriage. Once the contract is signed, there may be some complacency as opposed to the earlier stage of courtship.

The true effectiveness of social media marketing is in engagement, talking with people, not just at them. It should be a two way dialogue. That’s where Palin shines. http://padennoble.com/2009/08/26/political-use-of-social-media-palin-v-obama-politicians-talking-with-you-or-at-you/
