14. I don't see those as wedge issue. . .maybe we just haven't developed them
and I disagree that we pay too much attention to their wedge issues....ie abortion and gay rights. I see those isssues as important enough to fight over.

My state was true blue prior to abortion. Now its the reddest state in the union. All over abortion. These people should be dems, they are middle class, hard working. I want to find the wedge issue that brings them back to us. It could be the war, immigration, gap between rich and poor, medical care. We should agree on one and get to work.

That was my point.

The brilliance of the GOP push was they got churches to do grass roots organization for them. It was calculated. Why don't we think that way?
