I can’t agree more.
A grassroots movement that is shaped not only by “seasoned” veterans of Conservatism but by one of the most influential voting groups for Obama: the young vote.
Too many of the young people I’ve talked to liked Obama because he was young, and appeared to be a non-Washington type. Creating grassroots movements will ensure that candidates elected to office won’t be the “business as usual” types. As much as McCain may have taken that concept and killed it, it really is a viable idea. Politics isn’t just about politicking its also symbolic and this last election has showed us just that.
Having someone elected like Dr. Thorpe will reinforce that for Conservatives and I think it will not only affect Florida, but it will reverberate throughout the country. And it will also prove that we can do grassroots just as well as the other side!
