I am trying to get an insight into potential wedge issues to break the back of the right wing coalition, I think we need to look at the different opinions that dissent with Bush on the right. Our goal should not be a frontal assault on the Republicans, we should weaken them from withing, and then attack. There actually are a number of potentially extremely divisive issues that can be used to take the right wing on and win.
