The well-respected co-founders of TechPresident, Andrew Rasiej and Micah Sifry, have a column in today's Politico which looks at a number of online indicators and conclude -- once again -- that the outlook isn't too good for the GOP. TechRepublican contributor Patrick Ruffini is quoted throughout the piece.
Rasiej and Sifry, both individuals I'm proud to call friends and colleagues, are right in their assessment of the current situation. In fact, it's almost the exact same argument and conclusion I made a few months ago in the same publication.
Look, we know we're losing. We've said as much a few months ago.
But what are we going to do about it?
Should we just mail it in and call it a cycle? Should we cede victory to Hillary Clinton and focus on 2012?
For me, the answer is no. I'm not willing to give up. The stakes are too high.
And I've made the decision with many others to "put some skin in the game."
In fact, I'm personally working on four projects -- some you know about, some you don't -- that I hope will help right the ship before we hit the iceberg. And there are at least half-a-dozen other projects out there that friends and colleagues are working on that might help. There are probably more.
We're out here. Fighting in the Revolution because we know what will happen if we don't. Win or lose in 2008, it won't be from a lack of trying.

You're right...
...and I think a lot of what's going on is people are keeping many things close to their chest. Sure, right now, during the off season (for some) the Republicans are lacking, but there are wheels in motion for next year. I'm sure we'll be seeing a different story by the start of next summer.
Let's hope

Why Republican Donations are Down
The reason *I'm* not giving to general Republican funds (like NRSC) is because I know my money will go to Round-heeled RINO's who can't stick to their guns about the war. The Immigration debate show just how out of it the Party has become. I think far from a turn to Left, the country will show a turn to Right in '08 when they vote in actual Conservative politicians and *they* get our money. The lunatic left is giving their money to morons who tell them what they want to hear, but they're quickly seeing they can't deliver (CodePink telling Pelosi to "get out now" and her failure to do so).
