#1 "Never Nominate Another Inarticulate Candidate. ... Why does it matter? Because in an age of soundbites and an ill-educated electorate, coherence on the campaign trail is equated with competence as a leader."

I don't care how unfair you think this is.

I don't care how tawdry, unseemly, or grotesque, or any other word you choose to insert, you think this is.

Nothing - nothing! - is more important to the return to positions of power for conservatives than this concept.

Bush had the opportunity in his eight years to use the bully pulpit of the presidency to redefine politics for the next generation but couldn't talk his way out of a paper bag.

In an age of mass media, GOOD IDEAS AREN'T ENOUGH. Don't decry it. Get over it. It will be many generations before the human race evolves to be able to deal with the dangers of disinformation by mass media, if ever.

Get candidates who can use mass media and connect, or continue losing.
