A valuable lesson taught to me by former Pres Obama..

The 50 state strategy..

Consider every state winnable. Campaign hard in every state. Yes, I understand we won't win some ultra-con states but why not whip up the hornets nest in those super-red states anyway?

Let the elections run their course and see what we could've done better to win each state that we lose.

On to Texas and Georgia..

Both are formerly quite red..

Today, both are deep purple..

If Dems win Texas, say goodbye to GOP prospects (almost)forever. GOP'ers cannot win the presidency without Texas or Ga..

Dems winning Texas or Ga is like rubbing salt in the eyes of the GOP.

....................................
To Joe,

lean on Obama, learn from his brilliant 2008 campaign strategy.

Emulate it. We, the voters will do the rest.

Act like ALL 50 states are in play.

As a result, we'll also turnout for down-ballot Dems. Senators, Reps, State Dems and Govs, county commissioners, water boards etc..

You might not take the Presidential EV from a red state, but you might help some down ballot Democrats to win.
