Just my opinion, but I think libertarian voters are ripe for the pickings, as they do not like the Iraq war, the republican's fiscal irresponsibility or all the bible thumping. So rather than bending over backwards to court rednecks and bible thumpers, this could be the group that helps swing the electoral back in the Dems favor, as the Dems could pick-up Ohio, Nevada, New Mexico, Arizona and Iowa.
How do Dems reach out to this large group of people?? I think one way is going from caretaker government to smaller, more responsible government, with an emphasis on community is an option. Essentially, take more of an anti-Washington stance. Another is to paint the leaders of the right as fundamentalists. Of course, this will make James Dobson cry.
Thoughts??
