3. No overconfidence
Many non-voters don't bother to turn up, if their vote just adds to
a winning margin. One of the reasons behind 2000, was an apathetic
turnout expecting Gore to win in a no-brainer. Kerry can win this
time, but we need everyone to understand that it is not a no-brainer.

The new 527 that is registering voters may have massive impact on the
statistics of turnout. One would hope such a critical election,
as critical as lincolns' decision to fight the civil war, that such
an election might be worthy of some people turning up at the polls.
