Two ways Republicans can win the Presidential race in 2008
or more aptly make it seem plausible when the voting numbers flip again

1-Apathy. Either create themselves a rainy day so that (as we are told) only the ever so determined and dedicated Republicans will go to the polls or muddy up the waters to get the "they are all the same" meme going making it about personalities (always one of the top two influences on Republican voting decision making)

2-A divided house. The media pits the Dems against themselves either pissing off half of our party into not voting (see numbers flipping above) or souring everyone on the whole process (see #1).

BTW- We are falling for #2 hook line and sinker. Get back to the issues AND the policies that apply to them, god how I wish both of the remaining campaigns would do that.
