Hurricane Isaac to Hurricane Sandy represents an eternity, particularly in politics. For our 16-year-old twins the month of August signaled a birthday, a new grade, later curfews and changes in their driving permits. For those in my office, it was planning for and implementing the launch of Her New View (an initiative to elevate GOP women in politics) at the Republican National Convention and building the outreach for conservative Republican women across the United States. For Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney, it was securing the nomination then quickly broadening his message to attract the undecided voters.
