You are right...we are not going to reach these people. Waste of time. We have to keep the eye on the ball now. There has never been a more important time. We have to mobilize our own...make sure we know what to do and when. In Texas, we know when to clear the dead wood and strike when the iron’s hot. (I think I forgot a thing or two in that...oops!)
Actually I do think these people can be influenced. I think it is very important to go after their vote. Like most responsible people this woman is against the bail-out. I talked to her about Acorn and Obama's relationship to the mortgage industry. I was very non-aggressive; I just said, "Yeah all that ACORN stuff really bothers me...." and I let her ask me to tell her more. I use a variety of openings to engage people and attempt to encourage and validate their pre-existing suspicions and doubts about Obama.
