One of the interesting to note, espcially from the people who throw out "statistics" on FR like "He gains two votes for every one he picks up by moving center" is that the centrists don't go out and campaign, they don't go out and talk up their candidate, they don't knock on doors, they don't register voters and they don't get out the word.

Doesn't seem like a good gamble to me.......

dio, you remember my efforts. You saw my end product. It may have profited only a select group of people, and it may have been at the back-end of the election season, but still. It ended up serving as a recruiting tool.

You think I'm motivated like that this time through?

Naw. I'm just thinkin' happy thoughts of kittens and clouds, and how much I love that president, that president of mine....

OK, diotima, time for a little bitter humor from a conservative who's been involved with campaigning.

It's been said that one conservative does the work of ten.

Question: Why does one conservative do the work of ten on a general election campaign?

Answer: Because the other nine conservatives didn't bother to show up.
