The 2004 volunteers showed up because of their strong personal commitment to President Bush.

Count me as one of these, I voted Catholic and Not Kerry because of W's pro-life position. In 2008 if the Republicans and Democrats both have a pro-choice nominee I may have to hold my nose but I'll probably still vote Republican for other reasons, but I will NOT be a phone bank, church captain, precinct captain, or a 72 hour volunteer. Count me out!!

" The 2004 volunteers showed up because of their strong personal commitment to President Bush. " .............
Part of that is true, however ?
You had the Amish come out in droves to vote for President Bush because of the " SAVE MARRIAGE AS A MAN AND A WOMAN " issue, and they came out to defeat John Kerry just for that reason.
Another reason people came out to vote for President Bush was ? they did not see John Kerry as a person to be trusted, and they could not trust John Kerry to continue the war on terror or national security.
We need to still make those 2 issues even in 2008, the WOT and the SAVE MARRAIGE issue.
Many other voters came out to vote because they did not want to see John Kerry as President, and his traitorous actions during the Vietnam war, and after the war.
Yes, there were many who came out to vote for President Bush who were loyal to him, but, there were those main issues that brought many people out to vote.
