HOW TO DRIVE YOUR NEIGHBOR TO THE POLLS
Friday, June 26, 2009 at 8:19AM I am practially nieve. i just don't get it. The dynamics become illusive.
I was making calls at a McCain Victory office trying to "get out the vote". Which at this office ment "any vote" regardless of the voters presidential preferance. I got the impression we preferred to be polite rather than become forceful.
Someone says..."Hey, It may be a good idea to drive voters to the polls, anyone available Tuesday? Who could we take?" There was no battle plan, there were no generals, captains or troops.
THESE ARE THE VOTES THAT WIN - LISTEN CLOSELY
Clarencehas been driving voters from the Baptist Church to an early-voting center several times a week. The Obama campaign was excellent at "getting out the vote". The important item is to get out their vote, they (and I) could care less about the opposing vote. You know the old addage democrates vote on Wednesday.
Let me explain how and why this works and how to implement this strategy.
YOU DRIVE THE SENIORS. This inequivably works. But Not For Republicans.
So as noted above your at the local GOP office, someone says drive the seniors. You go home cross the street and ask lifelong republican Mrs. Jones (82) if she needs a ride, "Thank you but I already have a ride".
On election day you see Mrs. Jones get in a van with 5 other seniors, the bumper sticker says "Obama-Change". You just lost a vote.
It only takes a few kind words from the "limo" driver, "I and my whole family are so excited about Obama, this country need change, I hope you agree." Blue hair is bobbing up and down.
THE KEY TO WINNING THESE VOTES IS THE FOLLOWING:
This has to ber well thought out before, part of your total battleplan.
- COMMITTMENT - You have to get there first. You are only asking to help. Ask for the order. Most people and specifically seniors honor their committment. If the opposition has already made an appointment to drive this person your chances drop dramatically.
- Telephone and door-to-door- Months prior each call should inclue a 'need ride" question.
- CONFIRMATION - Have a business type card, like a docter appointment card. This is left with the voter, you filling in the day date and time. It includes your contact info.
- Get there contact info. Try to have them write it down on your form, that adds to the committment. Make sure you verify the info.
- COMMUNICATION - Call the voter at least a week before election day to remind/verify. If they try to get out don't make it easy for them. "But Mrs. Jones I scheduled my whole day around you."
- AFFIRMATION - On the way to the polls say "Were really excided about........, I think he/she will be good for us." - NOTE: No one is going to take you to task, (a) You are doing them a favor (b) The law of group dynamics, they do not want to offend any of the others.
- THANK YOU - Always say thanks for them letting you have the opportunity of serving them.
This should be part of a precinct dynamic. We need to organize. We need the votes.
These can be swing votes. You spend 20 hours on the phone, probably with limited success regarding policy. Here you moved a bunch of votes. This is an excellent use of your time.

A video has about 15-30 seconds to convince me that I should watch it in real time rather than reading something that tells me the same thing.
