Courtesy of Drudge comes a report that Markos Zuniga of the Daily Kos and former Howard Dean campaign manager Joe Trippi are forming a Democratic think tank. Their angle--politics, not policy will be their focus. Their goal will be to focus on new media technology that they think will help create Democratic victories at the polls.
Nice try guys, but focusing only winning has produced nothing but losses in the past few years. Why, you may ask? Voters want ideas, policies to talk about. There is no point putting candidates out there with no ideas--just look at John Kerry. The Republican revolution took decades to come to fruition, the Democrats aren't going to win just because they want to. You have to have ideas, real policy ideas to win. Voters don't want mindless dribble.
Furthermore, technology is not going to win the day if you have no message to carry on your new media.
