Norquist Offers A Peek at Republican Strategy

Political buffs will find this speech and Q&A featuring Grover Norquist very interesting. In it, Norquist talks about Republican strategy and how he views Democrats, as well as touches on hot topics like Jack Abramoff, John McCain, the Christian right, global warming, and gay marriage.

Some interesting highlights:

Norquist is "writing a book on the structure of the modern Republican Party, the Democratic Party, the conservative movement, and the trends that I see over the next 25 years."
- The rationale behind his "Leave Us Alone Coalition," who doesn't get it, and how this central issue has worked to benefit President Bush.
- What does and doesn't move Republican votes.
- Why Democrats aren't getting enough political traction to pull ahead.
- Demographic trends that are impacting current and future politics.
- Who he thinks ought to run for President in 2008 - and why.
