Line 37:
Thought 3: How much effort does it take to move a whole 45% of a general electorate in lock-step when many are unenthusiastic swing voters? How much of that 45% would be lost simply because valuable resources had been diverted from straightforward campaigning? Wouldn't it be easier to win some swing votes from the other camp or to win the unused 2nd place votes from the 'C' voters?
Moral of the story: If you're not an ivory tower theoretician working on an academic proof, then when confronted with a "What if?" scenario, always pause a moment to consider what it would really mean in the real world. You may discover that it's not worth designing around. [[User:Jrfisher|Jrfisher]] 12:47, 20 Aug 2005 (PDT)
