That says that the "partisanship" or taking sides had already taken place. So, what is now important is getting people to the polls who support you. The best way to do that is to stir their emotions. This is what the Republicans did, and it worked. The 'base strategy' was revolutionary in electoral politics. <BR/><BR/>If you read the whole Frontline piece, you will see that they did spend resources on the undecided 7% also. <BR/><BR/>Ken Mehlman: "...from a base perspective, conservatives increased their participation level as a proportion of the electorate. Republicans were for the first time ever equal to Democrats in their participation level of the electorate. At the same time, 44 percent of the Latino vote, the highest ever.<BR/><BR/>We improved our performance among people that live in big cities by 13 points, from 26 to 39 percent. African Americans go up, Jewish Americans go up, women go up. Across the political spectrum, we not only appealed to the red areas, making them redder, but we turned a lot of blue areas purple. ..."<BR/><BR/>Are we absolving the Democrats, just because they lost? John Kerry's off camera "crooks" speech? No responsibility at all?<BR/><BR/>I do think there are repercussions, long-term, of such a strategy, but I can't let you hang all of this on the GOP, just because they drove a lot of people to vote.Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12637878620645626245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18740044.post-1152752408112646562006-07-12T21:00:00.000-04:002006-07-12T21:00:00.000-04:00I think you missed the point intentionaly.I think you missed the point intentionaly.jasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07119892776164779402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18740044.post-1152750844810991462006-07-12T20:34:00.000-04:002006-07-12T20:34:00.000-04:00Man, somebody ought to hire that guy.
