Wednesday, December 03, 2008 The Kenney Memo: A Modest Proposal for Virginia Republicans From the introduction: We know this, whether we are prepared to admit it publicly or not. The Republican Party of Virginia is broken, but not on ideas or principle. The Republican Party of Virginia logistically is a wreck. Talk of throwing any part of our coalition overboard is both premature and unsound. Good candidates will no longer be able to paper over the severe disadvantages we have placed ourselves under. Until Virginia Republicans recognize and correct this problem, we will continue to slide further into a minority status. Quick reforms are needed. This approach – even if taken in parts over time – will allow RPV’s infrastructure to make immediate strikes into our 2009 races now, while allowing Virginia Republicans the “long game” to re-ignite the entrepreneurial spirit we have arguably lost.

At 7:55 AM, ccMAXIMUS said... visionary....I think that the model you've laid out fills the intellectual void within RPV. Some of the staff there could help implement it (and some there are very good), but leadership starts from the top. If implemented, RPV could actually achieve something the Dems have been schooling us on---online organizing, and effective messaging in the blogosphere. Great Job! At 9:32 AM, Jody L. Wilcox said... Nice, This is right on the money Shaun and what RPV needs right now... many of us grassroots poeple would be behind this proposal and also work with RPV to help implement it as well ...
