Are Twitter Style Posts Better?

Is it better to keep blog posts short and sweet?

While it might not be the best thing in the world for SEO — search engines need keywords and the more text the better — it might be just the thing for our short attention span lifestyles.

It’s Tough To Be GOP in LC

Filed Under GOP, Lake County, Northwest Indiana, Republican Party | Leave a Comment

It’s tough to be Republican in a county that has a city that is ranked the second most liberal in the United States.

More news showing how tough it can be.

Today’s Post-Tribune details a Lake County GOP official’s lament that the county’s Republicans are self-destructing.

A top official with the Lake County Republican Party claims the party is self-destructing because of infighting.

Peter Thayer, board secretary of the county GOP, blames Chairman John Curley for failing to unify the party.

“The fighting strengthens bitterness, promotes factionalism and weakens the party structure,” said Thayer, of East Chicago, who plans to run for the county chairmanship in March.

He points to last week’s departure of longtime Center Township Assessor Martha Wheeler as an example of internal riffs that have occurred during Curley’s tenure.

It seems that the same thing has happened in Illinois where the GOP has seemingly collapsed as well.

It’s too bad because our political system works best when there are opposition parties to act as a check against unrestrained single-party rule.
