Base Election

Just got this in an email:

McCain and Palin will begin the fall campaign on Friday with visits to Colorado Springs, home of Dobson, and Cedarburg Wisconsin, an exurb of Milwaukee that went Bush in 2004 with 66% of the vote.

They think this election is close enough, that they knocked down Obama over the summer to the degree that they can make it a base election about turnout.

I just don't think the fundamentals are there for that this year. And Obama's ground game is about a million times better than Kerry's. But it'll certainly make it a more decent loss.

...given this strategy, I wouldn't be surprised if the McCain campaign put this out themselves.



"God's plan" in Iraq? Yeah, that'll whip up a sliver of the electorate.
