This article from Kim Strassel at the WSJ very important far as I'm concerned because biggest threat to conservatism in America way I see it is under Obama Democrats figuring out how to leverage their huge advantage in media to best effect and Republicans failing to fully understand what a threat this is and consequently failing to work on strategies to overcome it. My whole fascination with Christie is based on this single point: I believe he's uniquely qualified to overcome the toxic effects of media bias - and yet many conservatives seem to reject him precisely because of this point, which tells me that many conservatives have still not figured out the way liberals plan on making them obsolete. Look at conservatives love of Cruz - it's all based on ideology - but I look at and listen to Cruz and I see a guy who has no chance of winning the presidency - too easy to negatively caricature, too easy to demonize, too easy to spin false narratives around - and on TV, he's got a bit of an evil look to him. Seems odd to me that conservatives obstinately refuse to acknowledge fact that low info voters combined with media bias is a huge advantage for liberalism and if you can't find a way to neutralize this advantage, you're screwed - so this article from Strassel indicating that maybe some conservatives are actually cognizant of the threat against them and are doing something about it is heartening.
