Can Democrats Win Back the Deep South?

6. Win with Better Ideas

Here in NC, the strategy needs to be two-fold.

1) Obvious. Hammer home the facts about the extremist overreach of the GOP/NCGA. All of those crazy early session bills (nip slips anyone)..the budget, Voter ID and on and on.

2) We have to follow that up with a surge of "better ideas". We can't just be the party yelling "Look at what they're doing!" without immediately afterward saying "And this is what we need to do instead".

My thing I've been pounding home to people lately is "motivate, activate, amplify". We have to motivate our base and unaffiliated/swing voters, we have to activate them to start working now for 2014 and beyond, and then we have to amplify our voices as the opposition party and the party of better ideas.
