Lady: How may I help you?
Me: I was just on the NRSC website and was wondering why certain Republican candidates for Senate weren’t listed.
Lady: What?? I’m confused, what are you talking about? We have everyone listed there.
Me: Then why isn’t Marco Rubio listed as a GOP Candidate for florida on the website?
Lady: Oh, well in Florida’s case the NRSC has already endorsed Charlie Crist.
Me: Well, has the NRSC not endorsed someone in California then? Because I see 3 candidates listed there.
Lady: Well, the NRSC doesn’t endorse candidates until after the primaries.
Me: You just said the NRSC endorsed Crist over Rubio. The primary has not happened yet madam.
Lady: Well, the NRSC chose Crist because he is the most electable.
Me: Than why does Rubio in many polls defeat the Democrat candidate by a similar or larger margin than Crist? And why has Rubio been leading in straw polls done in Florida?
Lady: We are not aware of that sir.
Me: Hm, well thanks.
Lady: Is that all you needed?
Me: Yes mam, that’s what I wanted to hear.
Lady: Why were you curious as to that race specifically?
Me: I wanted to perhaps donate to the NRSC, but I will be sending contributions to Rubio’s campaign directly instead.
Lady: Oh. (hangs up on me without a goodbye or thank you for calling.)
Can someone explain what in the world the NRSC is thinking?!

Disruptive technology hitting the parties....
acat (Diary) Monday, January 4th at 5:37PM EST (link)The candidates used to depend heavily on the parties for support services, outreach, get-out-the-vote, campaign coordination, etc.
A huge chunk of that can now be done online, or coordinated online, with no party involvement at all.
But. There’s still a huge percentage of people who give money to “the party”. It has to go somewhere, and those who are in charge of it, over time, cease to think like servants and start to think like bosses.
This is a good lesson for Conservatives, as the GOP is re-made, and as parallel structures are created, to keep an eye on. What do we need to do to prevent having the same problem in a generation?
