that are least dem (reducing opponents support and gaining dem votes), but at the same time, there is the question of how much effort (time and money) must be spent to achieve that.

Another argument would be that the party needs to try to get the already dem-leaning lurkers to actually come to the polls. The majority of Americans lean democratic, if everyone voted we'd always win.

I would be interested in knowing what the campaign folks feel is easier, converting people or activating the sleepers.
