Further, we see Free Republic registereds getting involved with their headquarters and we see GOP folks joining Free Republic. What are the chances that DEMS are joining the DU? They are coming here instead and then becoming indies or joining the GOP.

I believe that out of caution, the GOP may have initially bought the spin that we were wacky (lol), but they've witnessed our effectiveness and level headedness; the turning point being Algor's sound and legitimate defeat.

Exactly right....that's my first hand experience....they are eager to learn from us....because we get results. Now we've got them FREEPing with us on street corners in Venice, FL!

Yes. Be careful, though, and don't underestimate the enemy. The democRATs are also learning from this. Right after the November elections last year, Dick Morris was on Hannity and Colmes and said flat-out that American politics has reached a point in it's history where "an email campaign can defeat a TV campaign".

Don't underestimate the enemy, like they have (at least up to now) underestimated us.
