What can Dem. party do to attract those who didn't vote in the past?

Edited on Wed Jan-12-05 03:41 PM by bobweaver
It's apparent that "converting" any of the R voters is hopeless - their minds have been outsourced. The only strategy that has hope is to simply outnumber them by bringing in huge numbers of people to the D side. Falwell is on a campaign to register 10 million new Rs before the 2006 elections. What are the Ds going to do to increase their numbers and how are they going to do it?
