The GOTV flip-side
I work and interact with many conservatives/Republicans who do not like Bush and are adamantly against Kerry. I can't convince them to take the step and vote for Kerry. Actually, I have found it pointless to even try any more. But I haven't given up. I have been successful in convincing them not to vote. I have been taking another tactic and telling them that there is not much difference between the two so why waste time. Stay home on that cold November day/night. On the other hand, I have been very careful to point out the differences between the two candidates to my left leaning (Naderite) acquaintances. So, for conservatives it is Bush = Kerry therefore don't vote. For Liberals and Independents it is Kerry is a massive improvement over Bush and they should make effort to go vote.

1. Kerry will balance the budget and restore the economy
that should be more than enough reason for these people to get rid of Bush.
