Excellant! I too fight everyday, all day.

I strike up conversations with strangers in the check out lines, and with the cashiers. Little "did you know" things.

Little tid-bits work well, little praises for Bush, (being a good man, protecting us, connecting dots, Saddam's crimes), Bush's refusal to argue with Dems, (people seem to like that about him), little smears of dems (dissing our soldiers), and giving some good info they may not know, about Iraq, and the great things our soldiers are doing there.

Also, I take my conservative mags into all waiting rooms, ie, salon, dr, dentist, dealerships, anywhere. (with 3 kids, I'm there alot).

Keep it lighthearted, and people become interested.

Lighthearted is important. That is why I write my silly little poems. If you become the teeth gnashing flaming right wing extremist, you will not sway the middle to your side. The 15 to 20% in the middle is very important to winning. I use calm and rational means on these people and I do make progress. In Alabama it is almost a waste of time because we tend to vote Republican in Presidential races, but I will not assume that will always be the case. So when I talk to locals I'm just paying insurance premiums.
