Actually their main challenge seems to be quite different: Democrats need to get out the vote, while Republicans would rather have a smaller turnout.
I hear it every election: A smaller turnout favors the republicans, a larger turnout favors the democrats. It seems that the republican base is a voting base. They will turnout to the polls every time, no matter the campaigning, and vote their conservative values. So why does this not seem to be the case for the democratic base? Does it have to do with the age thing? On 6/13/06, Gruss Gott <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > From what I've read both parties have the same challenge with one > difference: churches.
