He doesn't have to be visible to attract them, and that visibility would stimulate GOP/reform turnout.<BR/><BR/>I'm wracking my brain on strategies for GOP candidates to energize their voters without a Jindal to rally around or an Odom to flail.

Ie doesn't his absence render his machine less active and thus less effective at turning out the Democratic vote? If this is true, it would seem his withdrawal arguably helps Republicans who remain in races and would benefit from a lower turnout of these traditional Democratic voters.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10214951.post-56249002398929475142007-10-25T17:13:00.000-05:002007-10-25T17:13:00.000-05:00Professor: Perhaps a future article could deal wit...Professor: Perhaps a future article could deal with methods Republicans, who remain in races, could utilize to turn out their voters.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
