“I would love to know what the GOP “get out the vote/register voters” plan has been this cycle.”

In the Triad the Dems have been better organized and more visible. Hate to say it but thats how it appears at least. Can’t speak for anywhere else. My state will become harder to hold. The triangle area is getting flooded with northern transplants who tend to vote lib and the hispanic population is exploding.

I live in Colorado, and it has been the same story here. I haven't been able to go to the grocery store since the middle of summer without seeing people doing voter registration standing outside. I always ask what their party affiliation is and they always say that they are Democrats.

I live in one of the most conservative counties in the country, and all I've seen is Democrats, Democrats, Democrats.

I asked one of my children who is away at college what it's like there. The same story.

It makes me more than a bit sad and angry that the GOP doesn't seem to be doing much to reach out to new voters or to voters that haven't traditionally voted Republican, as that is a poor long-term strategy for winning elections.
