Five weeks ago, the NRCC launched a project to get supporters to create their own campaign videos attacking Democrats. If successful, this project would defy a pattern where Republican grassroots activists never take action into their own hands:
Remember the MyGOP fundraiser that was so popular is lost money? Remember when the RNC blog went weeks on end without being updated in the middle of the 2006 election season? Ever notice how Act Blue has raised more than 50 times as much money for Democrats as Rightroots has raised for Republicans? Well, Republicans aren’t letting these past netroots bellyflops deter them.
The blog post announcing the contest said the following:

The NRCC also said
After the judging panel views the videos, the top five videos will be hosted on NRCC.org and voted on by t...

I’m doing a piece on strategies around impeachment that I’d like your help on. The gist of the piece is that there is no serious coalition behind impeachment, which means that relatively high pro-impeachment polling numbers and a series of illegitimate acts by the executive are not translating into a real political countermove. By contrast, the right worked since 1990 against Clinton, with a serious organized and well-funded coalition to delegitimize him and turn every po...
