TITLE: "Elementary Politics - Part 1" This will be the first in a year-long series of columns to help you understand basic political theory. Or, at least, the world of politics as I see it.
"… Secure your base …" The base can be defined as voters who vote in their party's elections even when their party is fielding a weak candidate against the other side's strong candidate.
"… Zogby poll …" When I found this, I was surprised I hadn't read anything about it. The numbers are extraordinary. Here is a link to that poll. Those data I referenced are in the middle of the second graf.
"… Tom Daschle …" People write to me and ask, "Rich. Why are we raising the ID of Tom Daschle?" My answer is: The GOP has a base, too and Daschle is useful as someone that the Administration can push against.
