Yes, it is improbable but not impossible. We should aim high, and beat Reagan's 49-1 record landslide over Mondale in 1984. With Arizona becoming a swing state, the clean sweep is entirely possible.
Barack's presidential campaign is itself, in his own words, an improbable journey ... to reach the highest office in this land. With an official DNC 50-state strategy being executed for quite some time now, we need to convert it into a 50-stage-victory strategy for this presidential cycle.
Look back from November 5th 2008. The country is shocked, pleasantly may I add, to see an African-American candidate sweep all 50 states in the presidential election. So, how did we get there?
- Democratic party united completely. Barack got 90% of the Democratic vote.
- African-Americas were hyper-excited and got out to vote in large numbers. 95% of them voted, and 95% of those voted for Obama.
- The Wilder factor or Bradlee factor was sufficiently neutralized by strong campaigning by champions of the Appalachia area, including the Clintons. The Fightthesmears.com effort paid off.
- During one of the debates, Lime Jello suddenly collapsed and had to be taken to the hospital for urgent care. He recovered but Obama became an overwhelming favorite.
- Barack raised an overwhelming amount of funds, foregoing public financing. He was able to run an effective campaign in all 50 states. His organizing fellows did a tremendous job of recruiting new voters and organizing them into viable fighting machines.
- Dubya tried to spring another Reagan-inspired Iran-related October suprise. But he was overwhelmed by the unified outcry from the Democratic activists, the generals, and by Obama.
- Lime Jello got You-Tubed with his tendency to have it both ways when it suits him. Independents flocked to Obama.
- The values voters lost heart. No matter who wins the election, they sighed, they will lose. So why bother to vote.
- Fox lost heart in opposing Obama. Murdoch, the pragmatic businessman, cut his losses and tried to make good with the president-to-be for the next 8 years.
- Add your favorite scenario in here.
You get the idea.... of what it will take to win all 50-states! It will be great to witness it happen once in our life time!
