The electoral votes of 48 states go to the winner of MAJORITIES of votes within the states. Maine and Nebraska award two votes to state majorities and the rest to congressional district majorities. In no case does getting a third or so of "right thinkers" win anything.

I agree it's hard work and money AND good ideas well marketed that lead to victory.

Okay. So we agree that it takes hard work and smart work to win.

How do we channel the conservative movement energy from ineffective to effective? Compare it to sports.

Some see us as fans in the stands cheering on our favorite team. I see us as players on the field. And when I see us players on the field yelling at our own running back because he isn't perfect, I think maybe we should be out blocking for our teammate. If us players aren't playing our best, who are we to criticize our teammates.

Of course, I do urge people to carefully choose which team to play for. It isn't just two teams in the league. There's many teams in each division.
