If all you ever talked to were other disenchanted liberals who share the
same view of the world and look at everything that happens in the world with
Bush colored glasses, you'd also lose perspective of what the "regular
folks" think of how things are happening, so in turn their commercials look
fine to them, but they don't realize they're only preaching to the choir and
****ing off the "undecideds" who sense a bad taste when one of those
commercials come on. Sure it pumps up the base, but those aren't the ones
that need convincing!
As for the conservatives, they have no choice but to hear both sides, so
I think that crowd is much more in tune with the ones able change their
minds. Not to mention a couple other things they've got going for them:
1 Statistically, it turns out that liberals, being the biggest supporters
of abortion, are the ones more likely to have them. Given that most folks
grow up with similar political views of their parents, there are fewer kids
from these families, so in essence, the left is aborting their electorate.
The numbers are rather dramatic, and I was surprised when I read that
article awhile back.
2 Blue states tend to have more liberal governments and constituents,
thus their views on employers as "evil corporations" that need to be
oppressed in retribution, as well as creating laws that drive up the price
of housing, all in the name of "affordable housing." Thus insourcing
companies and companies that look to start a plant or an industry tend to go
to states that offer a more amenable business climate. Those states also
have a lower cost of living for families that are looking for that kind of
thing and employment to match, so the blue states' growth has been nowhere
near what the red states' growth has been. In essence of that point, the
electorate is moving to red states because that's where the jobs and low
cost of living is. Folks do vote with their wallets, regardless of how much
they say otherwise.

Since the electorate is becoming more divided on the above and similar
issues, the distillation out of families and conservatives (toward less
hostile climates) leave even less and less conservatives to balance out the
viewpoints, you wind up with groups like MoveOn.org that slap themselves on
the back and think they're doing such a good job because they never ask the
folks in the red states, the ones they drove out, how they're doing. Stuck
on stupid I think it's been called recently, and then all you have to do is
to repeat the process until it's too late. Not that not having any liberals
left is entirely a good thing, because the conservatives will start doing
the same thing and the pendulum will swing back, but obviously it will take
a few generations before you see it, not unlike the fifty years or so it's
taken to go form the 50's conservatism to the 00's liberalism. I think in
about twenty years or so you'll see my point.
