I believe the more realistic Rovian stategy, would be: If one assumes there is no advantage to being the incumbent in the next election, then the only strategy left to us is to either increase our base, or increase our turnout. Given that our voters turnout out in very high numbers, our only reasonable strategy is to increase our base.

We know from Ohio that a republican GOTV effort was apparently underway since 2000. The corporate money available to them throughout the previous four years, exceeded the overall impact in 2004 than the monies available to the democrats during the election year. The impact of the democratic GOTV will be felt in 2006 and 2008 as Bush's foibles likely weaken conservative turnout.
