For the sake of argument, let's assume that RW politicians are
smarter than we are. How do we defeat them in November and 2012?

2. Make everybody vote on paper ballots and fire all the current election officials
replace them with high school honor students who can't vote yet.

3. We vote in greater numbers than they do.
I remember 1994 very vividly. I had some ditto head friends and we argued up and down before the election and I thought they had no chance with their contract on America.

The morning after the election I went to their store and said, "we lost because we didn't bother to vote."

Anyone who would have voted Dem in 1994 but did not bother to vote helped put those freshman repukes in power. We have never made up that ground.

This November we have a chance to lose some more ground.

4. We win by refusing to assume a fact that is not in evidence...
and then getting people out to vote.
