Ok, I slept. A lot. For the first time, forever.
Overflowing my inbox is a single question: What’s next?
Next is selecting the candidates. We’ve been looking at this for months, but there is tons to think through before we make the choice.
Here’s the simplest first step — though there are many steps after this:
Q1: Is the candidate credibly on the right side of reform.to?
If so, then it is not possible that they’ll be someone we’re trying to remove.
If not, then it is not possible that they’ll be someone we’re trying to elect.
There’s little fudging in the “credibly” qualification: the commitment one way or the other has to be believable. But beyond that, this is a pretty good first step to understanding the universe of possible targets and support.
In other news, today begins some time away with my family. Can’t wait.
