It is called Room to Grow, and I attended the rollout of it. Kevin Glass writes,

Conservatives are roundly seen by non-conservatives as partisans for the rich, it’s argued, and that perception must change to counter the ascendant progressive movement.

…Conservatives, Sen. McConnell said, “have often lost sight of the fact that the average voter is not John Galt.”

McConnell promoted three pieces of legislation that he said would fit in to the Republican reform agenda – the Family Friendly Workplace Flexibility Act, the Expanding Opportunity for Charter Schools Act, and the National Right to Work Act.

Actually, McConnell spent most of his time talking about Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid bringing bills to the floor without allowing for amendments. McConnell seemed really jazzed about having beaten back a primary challenge, so that he can become Majority Leader himself if the Republicans pick up enough seats. He predicted that the Democrats would still have at least 40 seats in the Senate next year, and he assured us that he will allow them to block legislation. Because he does not want to be like Harry Reid and achieve his goals undermine the comity that makes the Senate a terrific institution.

I’ll post more on the substance of RtG in the next few days. Compared with my idea for SNEP, I would say that it is more political, more fragmented, and less ready for implementation. Of course, since SNEP does not yet exist, RtG is way ahead on that score.

[UPDATE: Kevin Glass writes about McConnell’s theory of Senate mechanics and partisan relations. Glass gets into the merits of McConnell’s argument. Even I were to grant the merits, which I am not all that inclined to do, it was so off-topic at the RtG rollout that I found it painful.]
