Justin, I couldn't agree with you more. I may even say two years late. In the past, critics may have bashed the College Dems for not focusing on the issues (I among them), but this year is noticeably different.
The first, you hit it right on the head - the joint collaboration between College Republicans and Democrats. What better way to show respect for the fallen than putting are partisan views aside, and planning an event together... and due to the response, I doubt these will be the last joint events.
The second is found in the new initiatives such as the blog, a forum for members to express different views and opinions. The blog has been one of Oliver's top priorities since being elected as chair. So to allude that College Dems have one blank voice would be misleading to say the least.
Currently we will be incorporating issued-based emails, not with the purpose to sway, but educate members on critical issues like the War on Terror, Education, Health Care and the Budget. Furthermore, we are even launching a podcast in the coming weeks... so Justin, you are right - Jack's opinion is years too late.
I would end with a message not for Jack to Take Heed, but view and post on the blog. Let us hear about your views, ideas and comments. You want issues? You should become more active in College Democrats.

This blog ain't new.
I responded to Justin's statements below, Scott. I should just add (or reiterate) that I gave the reason I was turned off of the College Democrats last year and that I hoped you wouldn't pursue the same strategy the next election. I really do like the way you guys seem to be headed so far this year; I probably should have clarified that in my article. I may run a clarification this week if people think I was too unfair.
Correction: The blog has been around since last year. Maybe longer.
