This election will depend on mobilising the base

[Silverhair]

The country is deeply polarized and almost 50/50. Due to conservative strength in the smaller population Western & Southern states, they have an electoral vote edge. The EV system gives alittle greater weight to the smaller states. We have some small ones too, but they have more. Anyway, there has been little movement in the polls after the debates, and there are very few undecideds. That means that very few of the Bush voters can be reached for Kerry and vice versa. All Bush has to do is show up for the debates and say, "Kerry is a Liberal." and his base won't budge. Don't look for any change from this debate.

Both candidates have started campaigning to their own bases now.

Therefore, this election will depend on getting the base to the polls. Historically, Democrats have always had better organization, but our demgraphic just doesn't get to the polls as much. They haven't been as motivated. Republicans have never had a strong get out the vote organization as the have relied on a naturally higher responce rate from their people. In 2000 the religious right didn't come out in the numbers that they usually do.

However, this time, they are really putting a strong effort into being organized. And the fundamentalists are wound up over the gay marriage issue, and abortion. So look for them to show up on greater numbers.

To counter this, we will have to do a superior job at organization and election day getting people to the polls.

THAT MEANS THAT THIS ELECTION DOESN'T DEPEND ON KERRY. IT DEPENDS ON YOU, YOU, & YOU, AND ME.

Here are ten two letters words that are life changing. I heard them at church a few weeks ago.

If it is to be, it is up to me.

2. Always has been-- and that's how we WIN

Yes, the undecideds are important, but the BASE is more important. We need to do everything we possibly can to get these people to the polls, to get them motivated, to speak to their issues. It's much easier to get people who naturally lean our way to vote for our candidates than it is to convince so-called "moderates" to support us.

3. I am concentrating the remaining time in SW Ohio on low income

innercity dwellers. They are super easy to interact with because they are out on the street corners.

I swear if you have any time to post flyers, posting TWO-FACED in the innercity really motivates the base. They love it and they ask me for personal copies all the time.

If it wasn't effective repukes wouldn't tear them down.

In the innercity the memme is, "Bush is a two-faced punk ass bitch"

go to http://somnamblst.tripod.com to download flyers to print.

4. Part of the reason TWO-FACED is brilliant for the low income innercity

demographic is because it inspires the "haters"
