I’ll still stop by for some different perspectives, regardless of the name.

Although for God sakes, could someone make the new logo transparent? Come on.

[...] David Frum explains: From the time we launched the New Majority site, we have had to cope with a problem with our name. Simply put, there are a lot of “New Majorities” out there. There’s one down the road in Virginia, another at the New World Foundation, a conservative 501c4 here, a liberal one there. All this generated serious confusion, but the worst was with the best known New Majority of them all, TheNewMajority in California, because their mission and ours so closely overlapped. That overlap was leading to very unnecessary conflict with people who wanted many of the same reforms that we did. [...]

If it’s not too late to give suggestions, I would suggest something with the phrase “Bull Moose” in it (e.g., Bull Moose Majority, Bull Moose Forum, Bull Moose Reform, or something along those lines). I think that phrase does at least three things. (1) It conveys what type of majority you hope to build: a primarily conservative majority, but one based on common sense and first principles, not ideology, and one open to moderate and even progressive ideas, as long as the ideas have substantive merit. (2) It contrasts with what you are not. For whatever deranged reason, conservatives seem to hate Teddy Roosevelt. For example, they set Teddy Roosevelt as the type of conservatism they do not follow (e.g., George Will seems to be overly fond of saying how Taft was the real conservative and Roosevelt was not a true conservative). At the same time, while providing a contrast with what you are not, I don’t think Teddy Roosevelt is an offensive image that sticks a knife in your conservative opponents’ eyes and angers them, the way a name like the New Olympia Snowe Majority might (or, quite frankly, the way Frum Forum might, which says more about Hugh Hewitt and gang than you). And (3), by going back to history and an important figure in America, it also conveys the level of intellectualism involved in what you are trying to do and that this is a movement about the mind, not visceral, emotional, gut beliefs (e.g., not to be snarky, but I doubt that Sarah Palin, Michelle Bauchmann, Sean Hannity, etc would even know what Bull Moose refers to).
