Making Sense

By Michael Reagan.

Kentucky is not normally a state that is seen as a bellwether to the national political mood. Comfortably in the “Red,” the Bluegrass State often passes through the electoral season with very little national fanfare. Last night that changed.

For the first time since its rapid evolvement, the Tea Party movement helped a significant political candidate earn electoral victory — marking a notable increase in the movement’s importance to candidates across the country. No longer can anyone call this a fluke.

Sen. Arlen Specter, who left the Republican Party after 29 years because he could not win the Republican Primary, couldn’t win the Democratic Primary either, losing Tuesday night to two-time Congressman Joe Sestak. This makes him the third Democratic candidate backed by President Obama to lose a statewide election in recent months.

Pennsylvania’s Democratic Senador Arlen Specter, who changed parties to avoid defeat in a Republican primary election, will face the most difficult election of his career as he trails Congressman Joe Sestak in Tuesday Democratic primary.

Abraham Lincoln said “As our case is new, we must think and act anew”, I feel this statement is fitting to hopefully help mend the current Republican Party mess.  As I have shared with those closest around me, I have grown very frustrated with the Republican Party over the years. I feel at [...]

The Republican Party has been trying with little success to bring more Hispanics into the party. This has become crucially important since the Hispanic percentage of the U.S. population has been increasing so fast it accounts for 50% of the growth in population since 2000. Some progress was made in 2004, when 40% [...]

In this series (Young Hispanics and the Republican Party,) I said the Republican Party needs to accept, or at the very least understand, why young Hispanos hold such negative ‘perceptions’ regarding the Republican Party.
