Too often all sides buy into the myth that the swing vote is a small percentage. My experience is that voter behavior from election to election can swing wildly.
A well planned, well executed strategy and tactics can do wonders. 7 precincts in a working class immigrant heavy suburb went 55% for Al Gore.
Next election 65% went for the most conservative anti-establishment Republican slate against against the pro-establishment slate of the RINO governor and the Teachers Union Democrat slate.
Next election the RINOs ran an anti-Hispanic candidate for governor and the suburb went 78% Democrat.
Then the RINOs and Union Democrats ran a coalition slate against the far right wing slate and the Alan Keyes types won 87%.
In these elections, the turout in the off years was as big as turnout in the presidential years.
Too often, when Republicans/conservatives see a district go Democrat, they conclude that that district is lost and they write it off. That is a big mistake.
