4. There are many vote switchers------ in both directions

In the Harvard Harris poll that came out over the weekend about 6% of people wish they'd voted for the other candidates, that's 6% on each side. I doubt most people are looking for a community or even entertainment, more likely an agenda that addresses their issues in a way acceptable to them. Our goal should be first kick no one out, any and all voters welcome, and second to welcome people switching over no matter what opinions they have on any issue or what they think of individual personalities.

Votes are where it's at. The most votes win.
