Tell Me What's Wrong With This Idea: If You're Selling To Somebody, Find Someone Like That Person To Sell To Them.

Get People Who Are Registered Republicans. Get People Who Were George Bush Voters Who Can't Bring Themselves To Do It Again. Talk To Them, Get Them To Explain What Their Reasons Are, And Show Them To People. What's Wrong With This Idea?!
