(2,987 posts)It's NOT just about red states, that was just an example.
There's a range of wedge issues that congressional Dems now have. We KNOW the game is all about turnout in mid-terms, right?
So, you have your buffet of issues a local Dem candidate can choose from to run in his district.
Down south, your local Dem in a read area can run against Obama on SS, and keep silent about guns. It may or may not work, but it gives him SOMETHING where before, because of the Obama hatred, he would have had even less. Now, he can pick up SOME of those anti-obama votes by being anti-Obama on SS cuts.
In the N.E. you can run against SS cuts, gun responsibility and equality, etc.
You can tailor your wedge issue, there' s so many currently available. Every little bit helps in '14. We need to make inroads in red states, and this strategy will give Dem candidates an edge in red states, by being anti-Obama on something, that could swing SOME voters there way.
