looks to me like the strategy is to get people registered big time

[gateley]

1. You know, I was just thinking.

Roughly half the people support McCain/Palin. Not gonna change their minds. Roughly half the people support Obama/Biden - and we're sure not changing our minds! All we can do, is make sure more of US turn out than they do.

3. We are motivated that is for sure /nt

[Taverner]

8. We need to disenfranchise white rich voters

Somehow...keep the Monty Burns' from voting

[Largemouth Bass]

2. That's always the strategy

Getting them registered is fairly easy. Getting them to vote always seems to be a bit more tricky.

4. Except that during the primaries Democrats had a huge turnout

not so much with republicans

[Largemouth Bass]

6. True

We just have to sustain the momentum through the election. But that's always been the problem with newly registered voters. They tend to lose interest after a short time. The biggest exception was Clinton's second term. New voters on both sides showed up in large numbers.

7. I agree /nt

9. New registrants tend to vote in the first election. Get out there

and register people to vote. A good place is a place where there are a lot of bus riders, like transfer stations. Go during morning rush and evening rush.
