Winning Today & Tomorrow
The Republican MTM strategy, through its active engagement of citizens and remarkable organization, helps Republicans in ways beyond helping elect a candidate in the here and now.
The Republican model also creates a farm league of future candidates. Volunteers are given responsibilities within the party and spent a great deal of time networking and building party loyalty. While working to elect the president, the Republicans are also cultivating the next generation of candidates, something the Democratic Party is certainly lacking.
Whether or not this two-pronged strategy of promotion and preening was planned or not, it should continue to be an asset to the Republicans, especially if Democrats continue to lag behind in their organizational efforts.

Where as I agree to a certain extent...I do believe the Republicans have made two fatal errors in building a true coalition for the future. After 9/11 they had a chance to do what FDR and the Democrats did during WWII...to unite the world around a common cause and in so doing increase America's standing among it. Second, I believe, while their organizational structure was more far reaching than the Dems, I think the built their foundations on a faulty coalition... one that they will not be able to hold onto for long.
