Saul’s Plan For Victory

I have been forwarded this email from a source that wishes to remain anonymous. This email is from very early this past election cycle when Saul was developing his plan of attack for 06′.

He seems to have outlined 4 key points:

1) Completely ignore independents and only concentrate on turning out a strong Republican base to win an election in a slightly Democratic state.

2) Use micro-targeting to identify potential supporters and encourage them to get out and vote…don’t worry that 40% of those lists ARE MADE UP OF DEMOCRATS.

3) Spend more money on a GOTV effort than your opposition while actually helping to increase their voter turnout.

4) Buy 3 more rounds of Whiskey and leave the bar to finish the rest of “The Republican Plan for Victory in 06″

8…What the experts have to say

Pollster: GOP GOTV Effort Overwhelmed

“Democrats spent less than them (GOP) on GOTV and they still got outperformed,” said EPIC/MRA Vice President Ed SARPOLUS. The pollster noted that even if the Dick DeVOS campaign had executed the perfect campaign plan this year, they still could not have won.

“The difference between GOP and Democrats was 260,000 votes,” Sarpolus explained. “Some 260,000 more Democrats turned out to vote. Even if he [DeVos] executed the perfect plan, he couldn’t have beaten Democrats on turnout.” 

“Independents clearly expressed their opinion by voting Democratic and Democrats were energized,” Sarpolus said. “Republicans were not excited and about 15 percent were voting Democratic.”

Enough said.
