77. Unfortunatey, the 'apolitical' are the critical mass on election day

who elect the president (unless the supreme court is doing it). Ignoring them is electoral suicide.

The 40% repooks and the 40% Dems typically vote party line. But the 20% or so apoliticals vote as well, and their criteria are probably as varied as their numbers. You are right, AWOL has not made dent on them, and it probably won't. But even they will not ignore a failed war, that goes on and on and on. It isn't necessarily political to them, the way it is to us, but they can learn to hate bush over it, and that is what we most need.
