The St. Petersburg Florida newspaper had a newspaper editorial about this last Friday. Highlighting the lack of the GOP Get Out The Vote effort in Florida, particularly St. Pete, but it may be statewide. I didn't go read the article, as I was in the car listening to Rush read bits and pieces of it on his Friday show.
Its all over the place.
It shouldn't cost the RNC $85 million for GOP volunteers to volunteer some time to do some door-to-door registration drives.
I'm not liking the sound of this.
Not to worry. Grass roots organization is one thing money alone can't buy--not at the last minute. Hiring strangers to knock on doors can't do it. Churchgoers with lists of parishioners, on the other hand, can be a powerful force--and don't think the Kerry people don't know it. Only one out of four voted for Bush last time. This time it'll be more like three out of four. And they are organized down to the precinct in most of the battleground states. There are millions of these people, all fired up. So let them brag they've got Soros' millions--that's all they can do--brag.
I am wondering how many residents of cemetaries are being registered to vote. After all, the democrats have a reputation as miracle workers. They can even raise the dead. You don't believe me? Just look at the election records in locations like Chicago, Illinois.
But the same 527s, backed by Bush-hating billionaires like George Soros, have spent more than triple that amount - some $85 million - on registering new (read Democratic) voters.
Is NewsMax seriously math-challenged, or am I just picking nits?
