Instead of Aggressively Targeting Swing Voters, Bush Fortifies Base- Seeking to Turnout the Faithful As President Bush addressed a rally here
Wednesday, he performed the political equivalent of preaching to the
choir. Bush won a whopping 65 percent of the vote in this suburban
Milwaukee county in 2000, and the Republican Party, which dispensed
tickets for the open-air speech, made sure the fairgrounds were packed
with Bush loyalists. James Carville said it's "a new way to run for
president... usually you quietly shore up your base and aggressively
court the swing voter, Bush is aggressively shoring up his base and
quietly courting the swing voter." .[Its not new Jesse Jackson did it
back in the day. But since then the DLC has made sure that nothing like
this is going down BW] [more]
