It's not just about getting elected, it's also about governing.

Is it the fact that the Democrats have a leadership blog that has daily updates, including the 2008 legislative session, and the Republicans' blog was last updated in October? The Colorado GOP website is even more atrocious. Many of the links were broken prior to the election, including those to some House GOP candidates.
If the state party will not take responsibility, it is up to us bloggers to drive home our agenda in the media cycle instead. However, our effectiveness may be limited when compared to well-funded, professional sites such as the Colorado Independent and the like.
Reply: The state and county parties have commtted to improving their new media presence. Hopefully, they'll start with this sort of thing, like, yesterday.
The republicans in this state have got to pick up the slack for the party. The Democrats are much closer to the efficent horizon, they just raise funds and win elections better than the GOP. 2010 is a year full of opportunity for the GOP, but they need to quit running campaigns in the fasion of the early part of this decade. Time to upgrade.

Excellent post for its brevity, precision, and relevance. The GOP needs to wake up and get engaged like, approximately, yesterday. Great reminder!
