Our neighbor, the Republican, is fed up with *
Advertisements [?]
Okay, boys and girls, you know the drill. We see these threads daily. However, two women I know have both told me, within the past month (and one this afternoon,) that they will be voting ABB in the upcoming election.

Why is this significant? They're both upper middle class "soccer mom" types -- *'s supposed "base". They are also both (up to this point,) solely Republican voters. I almost fell off my chair today when the neighbor called and started asking me questions about the positions of a certain Dem candidate with an MD. It seems she's watched all the Democratic debates. All of them.

The last straw for these women? My friend Stacy almost had an aneurism when * sent $87 billion to Iraq. She's afraid her teenage sons will be drafted as well. Our neighbor (who had ten */Cheney yard signs in the yard during the last election,) is infuriated over illegal aliens.

The base is fleeing. We must capitalize on it.
