[lbo-talk] Electoral Strategy in 2004?

[Alan Jacobson]

That's the Non-Partisan League strategy, especially in
areas where there's a single party monopoly. In real
life I think this happens anyway, not that it is
evident as a trend. Are there any real life examples
of anybody doing this consciously, recently?  When I
was a kid growing up in Northern Illinois way beyond
the Chicago suburbs, the John Anderson wing of the GOP
was the "Democrats" in some areas (i.e. the GOP
primary was the real fight, no Dem organization in
some counties, etc) and they had a quasi-liberal
perspective. But then again that was before the
religious fanatics and freepers. Can't say what that
culture is now.
