Reformers shook the cage pretty good at the-event-which-shall-not-be-named. I am sure there will be more of their ranks in the future, because I am working my city find fresh activists. I couch it in terms of needing volunteers for the upcoming election - but I will be urging every one of them to be involved *intraparty* after November.

What I'm hearing from the ones willing to work precincts, is that they are disgusted with the party leadership and tired of seeing their donations wasted. I don't even need to coax these admissions out. They just bubble up naturally.

A constructive grassroots approach.  Growing the grassroots in the upcoming campaign season as you describe is the best route to a grassroots majority in 2011.  Sitting on our hands doesn't get us there.
 

And if they don't want contributions wasted, like with washed up consultants, maybe they ought to send them to Marco Rubio for his primary with Charlie Crist in Florida and subsequent general election campaign after he beats Crist.  That is also a good way to show your displeasure with the Washington, DC ''leadership'' of the party who are trying to foist leftist Crist on the party as US Senate nominee.
