The consultant claimed the republicans need to become missionaries to convert more Democrats and Independents to republicans. Since the big election victory, I have been thinking about what our side need to do. In my view, we need to go to the Howard Dean 50 state strategy on steroids. We need to challenge republicans for southern whites that are not racists but have some concerns about our arguments, we need to challenge for them in southern cities, and in small towns. We need to challenge hard for midwestern Whites that aren't racists, but don't cotton to our points of view. We need to challenge republicans for urban and rural Hispanics, rural and urban Whites, Asians, Blacks, Middle Easterners. We need to challenge in every city and town of every state. We can't argue that we are for everyone when we are willing to leave someone out that we may be able to work with.
