I think stay-at-home people are the greatest threat as well and why they need motivated.
Oddly enough, I think you and I and Mr. Rove are all agreed on this one.
Not only that, but party support often sags when it's in a strong position like we are with all three branches. Complacence. Just like the Dims in '94. But they missed their chance in '02 because of 9/11, I think. Harder to do a takeover like that in a general election because you always get a better turnout.
Don't always agree with Pat but there are times he comes up with some real zingers that are really good! Still wish he would have stayed in the Republican Party and fought from within the Party and had his voice heard even if I didn't agree!
After his miserable campaign and then trying to give his votes in Floriduh (and the election) to Gore, Buchanan can go straight to hell as far as I'm concerned. Now and then, I'll still look if he's on TV or scan an article posted here at FR (usually by Bush supporters) but I have no great patience for that man.

Never did figure out Pat and the Florida deal. Didn't make any sense then and still doesn't.
In 2000, a lot of Oklahoma people didn't vote because we didn't have a Senate election, our Congressmen were going to get reelected, and Bush was going to win Oklahoma.
I faulted the Bush campaign for not coming into States like mine and asking for votes so the turnout would have been much larger. The only stop he made in OK was the night before our primary on Super Tuesday and that was last minute with about 500 of supporters like me showing up. Too much time was spent IMO in states where there was no chance versus states with voters like mine. It cost the popular vote IMO by not going into pro-Bush states and rallying the people.
In The Oklahoman yesterday, they said that Tom Coburn was considering a run for Senate. He will get my support immediately if he does run. If not, then I will support Mayor Humphries. I really would prefer Dr. Tom!
