"...20,000 people is not going to make a siginificant dent in the voting patterns of Idaho, since the state has a population of 1.2 million. Like I said, you're stuck with Wyoming if all you're using is 20,000--and even that isn't enough."

20,000 ACTIVE voters, knowledgable about the issues concerning them, who can also EACH be expected to work hard to push their political agenda, would make a dent in almost any State, Poohbah.

20,000 ACTIVE voters, knowledgable about the issues concerning them, who can also EACH be expected to work hard to push their political agenda, would make a dent in almost any State, Poohbah.

It wouldn't even be enough to swing a single Congressional race in most states. And 20,000 "outsiders" pushing their agenda in a small state like Wyoming is more likely to generate 40,000 votes going the opposite way.

Sorry, you must plan on the assumption that you will not gain one presently non-Libertarian vote from the existing population of the state--to quote Donald Rumsfeld, "Hope is not a method." That means that you're going to need a lot more bodies to make this work.

Ain't reality a PITA?
