Yes you make sure you get all the Repubs to vote and if you have time go talk to the Indis.
Right now we do it exactly the other way around, but I think your method is correct...modified it would be:
>>Go talk to the Indies, and at the same time make sure you get all the Rs to vote.<<
That would be twice as much work, and hasn't properly been getting done, but probably is exactly what needs to happen to win a majority in the Maine House.
I'll see if I can get some numbers (enrolled vs voted) from the State Committee.
I hate to say this, but what you are talking about here is actually modified (to an honest version) Community Organizing.
