Aaron Schwitters

Today's Seattle Times has a nice profile of young GOP activist Aaron Schwitters, who aspires to elective office some day:

It's 7:30 in the morning. Aaron Schwitters is shaking hands and grinning broadly outside the kickoff breakfast for George Nethercutt's Senate campaign. He was at the ballroom in his crisp blue suit at 6 a.m. to help set up chairs.

Schwitters is only 21. But he's already done dozens of these political events, speeches and fund-raisers here and in Washington, D.C.

"Everyone knows Aaron Schwitters," Kristina Morris, a fellow young activist, said recently.

Heh. I know Aaron Schwitters too.

[Schwitters] has his own critique of Republicans: The party, he said, has too many pessimists and culture warriors. He believes Republicans would be better off talking optimistically about free-market policies at home and democracy abroad.

He's my kind of Republican. I hope he goes far.
