Some Nice Numbers   [Kate O'Beirne]

To illustrate the importance of the GOP's GOTV operation, Sara Taylor, political director at the White House, reminded the audience that 18 congressional seats were decided by 5,000 or fewer votes and Republicans won 12 of them.  And they were told that 61 Democratic members in the new House were elected in districts that George Bush carried in 2004, 32 of them by 55 percent or more.  There was some talk about the role of blogs and a consensus that Republicans are lagging behind the Democrats when it comes to making use of them. 

Near as I can tell, GOP golfers are underrepresented at this lovely golf resort.  Overlooking the golf course, politicans, their aides, candidates, and their consultants huddle in small groups at patio tables plotting. . . something.
