What is best INTELLIGENCE on best channels to reach UNDECIDEDS?
I think most undecided are "unimformed," don't watch
news and don't care much about politics.

I have assumed that the strategy to reach them is ADS on
pop TV and radio shows.

Anyone know more?

Any links?

1. I think many undecideds are remarkably well-informed, and are merely...
Fed up with both Parties...sort of a pox on both your houses type of outlook. They believe that Democrats, and the GOP, are two sides of a coin that resides in the pocket of corporate America.

I think we reach the ones that are possibly inclined towards us, when they begin believing that we stand for something more than the welfare of corporations.

It doesn't matter which media we use-if we begin standing tall for common people, like the Democratic Party of the past, the word will get out.

But no, just because someone is still undecided, doesn't make them necessarily uniformed.

2. Peter Harts focus group panel of undecideds seemed totally ignorant
of anything about JK other than from Svet and flip-flop ads.

3. Well, the GOP has spent hundreds of millions to convince everyone...
That this is all there is to Kerry...and if you sling enough sh*t, some of it is bound to stick.

The only way to beat that sort of narrow, focused, defining of the opposition, is to become narrow and focused in your OWN message-and Kerry is trying to do just that, by running mainly now on Iraq.

I guess Bill Clinton told him to run on the economy, but I have got to go with Kerry on this one-when you are at war, it all has to come down to the war.

That is kind of the problem about running against George Bush-it is such a target-rich environment. He has lied, his vp is a war-profiteer, he was AWOL, and on and on.

So we have to pick and choose.

As for the focus group, well...who is paying for it? Some element of corporate media, no doubt. What screens did they use in choosing them? See what I mean?

I promise, there are many, many undecideds who are registered independent because they are disgusted with BOTH parties, rather than because they are ignorant of our candidate.

And again, there are no majic beans to be had from Madison Avenue to somehow grow a roadway into their consciousness.

They will vote for us if they believe we stand for the American People, and not the corporations.
