[Meritaten1]

According to this article, GOP is targeting very specific demographic segments in swing states for its voter registration drives:

"Exurban areas are booming and, according to demographers and GOP strategists, are rapidly drawing a concentration of culturally conservative but unregistered, unaffiliated voters.

And that is why Karl Rove, Bush’s senior political adviser, is so sure the president can make major gains in exurban areas. Along with Lebanon, places such as Fridley, Minn.; Carlisle, Pa.; New Richmond, Wis.; and Livingston County, Mich., are the new obsession for high-level Republican operatives."

1. Fridley is not exurban

it's a first ring suburb less than 10 miles from Minneapolis, and is heavily Democratic.

no doubt they'll be targeting real exurban areas like the Freeper paradise of Carver county though.
