1. Suppress the vote.

Suppress the Christian vote.
Suppress the wealthy vote.
suppress the uneducated vote.

Suppress the undecideds. Tell them their vote won't count.

And...invigorate the base.

2. Reach out
not to the fundies (they reject reason) but to the 25% of potential Kerry voters who voted for the Chimp in the end. These people may not in genreal at least be the best informed people in the country, but they are not blind Bush fanatics. These voters chose Bush because he was a known quantity to them and Kerry was still too un-known. IF we had been able to close the deal with these voters, Kerry would have beat Chimp by 5-6%.

But the fact is the Bushists control everything now. What happens now IS THEIR FAULT. We just need to sit back and wait for the shit to hit the fan, and when it does we go back to those reachable voters not to say "I told you so" but to say "please don't make the same mistake again, help us fix things".
