This is a step in the right direction.
In the last election, a new Republican headquarters opened up in my rather large, affluent town. I was very excited and attended the opening. It was basically a potluck put on by sweet little blue haired ladies. They were playing soft classical music in the background and had lots of sign up sheets available. There was no one welcoming people or announcing the agenda for the evening. There were maps on the walls and mini posters; but no computers or visual media. My husband had a delicious brownie and then started pestering me to leave. He, a life-long Republican, felt uncomfortable.
It felt so old school and I knew McCain was doomed. There wasn’t one thing about it that would make anyone under the age of 50 want to be there (other than principles, of course).
Until we offer a fresh, new take on conservative values, the active young voters will not join us. They are very visual and connect with each other through new media.
If you build it, they will come.
