The first of your characterizations is already radicalized. The second is part of Bush's base and probably unreachable.

I'm talking about influencing policy by influencing the swing voters. The 40 percent in the middle, who don't like the direction America is going under Bush but who might still vote for him if they aren't presented something to rally around. Poor whites. The unemployed. Disaffected veterans.
