The Press Reach Desperate Ends
In an article on CNN.com yesterday, Chris Lawrence sought to paint a dreary picture for young conservatives and John McCain. He contested that the youth “are worried about McCain’s appeal”. He infers that young Republicans just are not excited about John McCain. He based most of his article off of a quote from what came to be known as a false source (see both here, and here). Surprise, surprise, yet another media outlet bends information to fit their perspective.
Yes, there seems to be, at the time, a bigger crowd for Obama. But are young Republicans “worried” about John McCain? I don’t think so. On cyber space, he has less presence, but we have yet to find out how much that will amount to. The College Republicans have always been the superior grassroots organization. Second to none. And they plan on continuing to do so this year as well. Not only that, but the GOP knows that, McCain knows that, and the rest of our candidates know that. Instead of going on facebook, or posting youtube videos, we are going door to door, making phone calls, and organizing rallies on campus.
