2. Independents are the key

That's how Warner and Kaine won here but/and mind you that most people here are considered Independent there is no requirement to register as either D or R

3. If we keep Pennsylvania and add Virginia...

...Obama's going to be difficult to beat.

Add Florida, and he'll be unstoppable.
