Why unite fast once we know nominee? Guess what RNC is already up to....

[blm]

I can't post the article, because I read it in my local paper.

The Republicans have ALREADY leased passenger vans in every district that they fear will be close in November. They aren't taking chances. They plan a very quiet, under the radar GOTV effort.

1. So we should unite behind Kerry already?

Yeh, that makes sense :freak:

[LuminousX]

2. Let's unite now behind Dean

I'll agree with that.

[Renew Deal]

16. The poster never said that.

They said when the nominee is chosen. That means even Dean.

3. so the democrats do too

...

[blm]

9. Really? That's good to hear.

In my county (SC) the Dem party has a negligible presence. No office in the whole county which is fairly large, too.

You just brightened my day, bobbie. I've been agitated over this article since I read it earlier. I felt the GOP had the jump on us.

11. Hey, BLM

When you voted in SC, did they make you sign one of those "I swear I'm a democrat" cards?

[blm]

13. nope. Didn't even ask me.

I had a Rolling Stone sweatshirt on so maybe they had me pegged. heheh.

[girl gone mad]

4. Oooh.. they've leased some vans..

Scary!

5. They did the same thing in Philadelphia, didn't they?

Hired a fleet of vehicles, their operatives went around with clipboards with official-looking symbols on them, trying to intimidate voters into thinking they weren't eligible to vote. But the Dem mayor won anyway.

It's amazing how many slimy creatures can crawl out from under the RNC rock. Just amazing.

6. imitating a Democratic strategy

Innovated by Dems. In particular, Donna Brazile is a master at organizing these things.

Should be amusing, pulling up to those closed gate communities with a van, getting voters to the polls.

More likely they'll be handing out cash to anyone they can find to vote. We should have some plants out there.

21. Louisiana Senate 2002 is a great model

Democrats need to use the same GOTV efforts that Mary Landrieu used in Louisiana in 2002. I don't know exactly what happened, but I think her campaign had outside help from Donna Brazille, with Bill Clinton behind the scenes.

7. ah, cometh the Fairy of Unity

:eyes:

[blm]

12. Then don't.

Nobody expects everybody to be happy voting for a longtime progressive like Kerry for President. I understand he's too liberal for those who prefer centrists.

[ulysses]

15. you miss my point.

Never mind.

[blm]

20. Maybe I didn't.

;)

19. He has not yet received 2162 delegates (n/t)

[Straight Shooter]

17. LOL

good one

[fearnobush]

8. Just an other reason for 10 Million/$25

If 10 million donate $25 to the nominee, DNC. We too would have the resources to launch such an effort.

[Renew Deal]

18. We just need people with cars and organization.

No vans necessary

[goobergunch]

10. Okay

Nobody's got 2162 delegates though, so no need for any uniting yet.

14. Primary turn out in almost every state was record setting-

we have to keep the ball rolling. Be up-beat and win over undecideds and moderates.
