For the first time, DMR's exist and our vote is legitimate and for real, and most importantly up for grabs at this juncture. The core constituencies of each party will vote along party lines again in 2008. Those votes are a given. The vote that will however win the White House is the DMR voting block.
Why? Given the continued political polarity in this country, this election will again be very close. Only a fraction to a few percentage point differential will separate winner from loser. That deciding differential is the DMR voting segment. The party that ultimately wins it, likewise wins the Presidency. The party that doesn't, won't. It's that simple.
When looking at the election geography map of the United States as it breaks down into blue and red colored states, it's quite interesting to note how easy it is to swap some of these state colors with just a few DMR votes. There certainly are high concentrations of DMR's in Ohio, Florida and many others.
