Chairman Robert Carr has had experience in public service. Robert Carr a 24 year old college grad has been waiting for his oppurtunity to run for a position in government. The young republican has been well known in republican cirlces and will soon the main stage of politics. Sources close to the Carr Campaign state, "That Rob Carr has no choice but to run... he made a promise to many of us to lead... that time is now."

State of the Republican Party

With things falling apart this is the first time in my life that Republicans are no longer considered a major party. Don’t get me wrong the party has some hopes in 09 but overall have a huge indentify problem. It’s like the Republican decisions makers are suffering from identity fraud, and simply can’t find the method or voice to return back to the big stage. I thought with the selection of Chairman Steele it would’ve put us back into positive waters, but instead we continue to float without much hope of shoring up anytime soon. Now with old party members having foot in mouth disease, and moderates flocking to the democratic and/or independent parties hope seems still to be without light as we continue to search for any sign of victory. There are a few issues that Americans still favor the GOP over the Dems.

Issues that Americans favor the GOP

• Closing Gitmo
• Dems Super Majority
• National Security
• Education

These issues open up the door for the Republican Party to gain seats in the midterm elections. Only time will tell if the GOP will keep the edge or lose yet another election cycle. But as I stated before there is still some promising signs in 09 for a Republican Comeback!

Senator Tom Ridge??????

Yesterday Arlen Specter switched parties and joined the do nothing democrats. I thought that would help the democrats by forcing them into doing the peoples work. Sadly today President Obama started back on the campaign trail, and gloated about Specter. My first thought was that I couldn’t blame the gloating but after thinking about it I also changed my mind. Now if Specter wins the democratic primary and Toomey wins the republican primary then Specter can count on my vote. But if Ridge wins the republican primary then Specter would not even be considered as a choice for me. I am drafting a letter to Governor Tom Ridge asking him to run for office, especially the US Senate that needs some tough love. I will post that when I am finished writing it. The moderates and value voters of both parties are looking for loyalty, which can not be found in either of the candidates that are current running. There is an open door for Ridge to return and fix the things we need fixed. Dems supported Ridge and applauded his effort as governor of PA, and now PA needs him again.

Arlen Specter (D-PA)

I personally never thought this day would come, but here it is. When my phone rang this morning I never thought it was going to be this headline, “Specter Running as a Democrat.” But times are different, and so is the political season. Arlen Specter has been a public servant of Pennsylvania for many years, and no matter how disappointed I am with this switch I will still cast my vote for him. Sure it would help the Republicans to beat Specter but I feel that Toomey is not PA and is not worthy of my vote. Some Dems are probably happy with this switch as they should be, but realize this. In 2005 when it looked as if the Democratic Party was falling apart, I to thought I was witnessing the fall of their party, but as we now it takes complete lost and defeat after defeat for any come back to be achieved. My away messages and facebook comments in 2005 all stated the death of the Democratic Party was at hand, but a true person of history would have been able to tell that political parties don’t die but rather in lost become stronger. It has only been fours years since 05 and now the Dems control the House, the Senate, and White House which just four years ago all were controlled by the Republican Party. So with a sigh and a deep breath I take this lost and wish Senator Specter the best of luck.

PS. Sorry about not posting anything before just wasn’t feeling too political.

Stimulus Package

Well as many of you already know, President Obama Stimulus Package was passed this afternoon. For some this was a "Party Moment" others this was a bad moment. But hey we have had worse moments, and at least this time President is not having cocktails on our dollar in the White House. President Obama is making it hard for me to be a moderate, really hard. His partisanship is showing way too much. "I Won" yes you did Mr. President, but I didn't vote for you.

Things that concern me....

• President Obama too Liberal or EGO Happy
• Even the President said, "Our children’s children will have to pay for this."
• No back up plan
• Wall Street Doesn't Like It
• Most Moderate Economist Don't Like It

So you would think that many would oppose it. NO. Many people watch CNN or Fox news to get their facts, or they listen to Obama word for word. I bet they even quote him every time you debate them. It’s SAD. Many Americans don't think for themselves, and when they do all their facts come from a different source. It will be interesting to see how this plays out, and what is next for our Country. Obama is once again on a campaign trail and more people are saying, "When will Obama be President, rather then be a candidate for President..." Great Question one that only history will tell. Good Luck Everyone

Michael Steele RNC Chairman

With the sound of the gavel and a thunderous applause, the Republican Party began a progressive strategy towards the future. This party elected a man that represents the common people, and will bring strength and momentum back to our party. This selection makes me feel that we are going to return to the national stage with honor and a new surge with principles. Chairman Steele will do everything he can to bring the Republican Party back to the majority and back into the White House. Mr. Chairman you have my support and dedication, let’s get the job done.
