The core issue is how do we best attract the swing voter?

Do we become a true opposition party and make the distinctions so great that part of the middle comes to us.

or

Do we move to the middle on some issue wresting control of the issue from the Republicans believing that if the people don't come to us we must go to them.

Remember the Flap Howard Dean got into over bubbas and Dixie Decals in their pickup trucks.

Dean caust crap from Liberals for even feigning to suggest that we ought to go after NASCAR dads by arguing that the GOP has really done very little for them.

As a child of both the north and the south I found it amusing that liberals were upset about the notion of going after souther white men, and the Southern White Men I know were actually taking notice of HD.

That Hoard actually had to back off the statement was a double defeat he looke like a coward to southern whites and party regulars cut off a potential olive branch to those who really did not like Bush at the time.
