"Conservatism + alliance with Libertarians + moderates is needed."
What we need is a MESSAGE...
A single, uniting, easily delivered idea that doesn't take 5 minutes to explain to the average person of why it's good for them....
Reagan had those visions, so have many others.
And we can no longer live in the bubble of assuming the Netroots leads the way, when in reality it's the MASS MEDIA that does..
The Media may be turning to the blogs for Info and opinion, and even breaking news, but THEY still drive the message that gets through to the sheeple.
And they heard it LOUD AND CLEAR this election, even if it was almost entirely a LIE based on leftist hatred...
How about "When we vote, we win"
Look at the red state map. Tonight didn't happen because people voted, it happened because people didn't vote.
My "message" would take months (not continuously) but as a former liberal I would think it might work. Ask liberals to place into an envelope conservative predictions. Then some time later ask them to look in the envelope. They may not accept conservatives' reasoning for their predictions, but after a few times will recognize that the predictions are at least intersting to listen to.
