Yesterday I was on capital hill and saw the GOP's new 18-wheeler called "Reggie the Voter Registration Rig" which they hope to use to register 1 million new GOPers at NASCAR races, county fairs, parades, political events and college campuses.

Unfortunately, I doubt the DNC or any other pro-Democratic group has the extra million or so it probably took to this gas-guzzler on the road. However that does not mean we can't respond.
How about getting an old pickup truck and following Reggie around the USA. It could get us great free press and register thousands of voters, while showing "NASCAR Dads" that we want their votes.
I can see the small-town press already :
GOP Comes to town with a brand new million truck, Dems ride in on a 82' Ford Ranger. "We Dems don't have the big money from the corporate interests like our Republican friends, plus we aren't big spenders like President Bush"
I know I would put some money into this if someone wanted to undertake such a project. This could be self-organized through the blogsphere (or perhaps through the new Dean organization or the DNC).
What do you all think?
