Gotta remember that the Democrats have beaten the bushes and shaken the trees with their voter registration drives. They have knocked on every door in neighborhoods where the demographics told them that they'd be likely to get more people voting for Democrats.

This tells me that there are a lot of potential Republican votes out there, ripe for the picking. Only 49% of those who are eligible to vote cast a ballot in 2000. Let's get out the vote.

This is, of course, is the key. There are a lot of conservative-thinking folks who have never voted because they're too busy doing other things, or too uninvolved, or too convinced that nothing's going to change. I suspect that now that Bin Laden and his gang have shown us all just how important "the issues" can be (many of us, of course, already knew), there will be a lot less apathy at election time.

And as you say, the Democrats have already been barn-storming at 100% max effort. It's time for the big Elephant to get it's ass in gear and lumber down the road to big majorities in 2002. All of us working together can help make that happen.
