It isn't nessisary that we wait for larger parts of the DNC to conduct studies to produce the kind of fantastic art that we had during the last election. Small polls are better than no polls, as individual supporters and groups we could ourselves conduct smaller polls. The key is to come up with a large pool of ideas that can be submitted to people easily in the form of short surveys. After that, we could use the top few words in combination with a wide variety of art. Again, these works of art would be surveyed to find the best 2-3. And with these, over time, maybe you could make a real difference.
Maybe, art is impossibly hard to predict. Anyway, that's my idea, small works of art produced by individuals using small surveys of small groups of people.Of course, when the DNC comes along and actually surveys people, then we'll all be in fine shape.

The above link is a very good article by USA Today featuring some recent census data. Among other things, it points out something very relevant to the next election:
"Twenty-one states and the District of Columbia had higher poverty rates than the national average, many of them in the South, such as Mississippi (21.2%), Kentucky, Arkansas and Louisiana (each with 17.3%). That's compared with 19 states and the District of Columbia that ranked above U.S. poverty in 2007."
Health care is probably most important to the working class, but the working class is not nescisarily the highest vote in battle ground states. A lot of the people we need for this already have health insurance. But we could do a much better job at marketing to the people who don't already have health insurance.
I recently recieved in my e-mail inbox an awful idea saying that supporters of President Obama should all honk at each other to show their support. Unlike whoever came up with that idea, I take my support of President Obama very seriously. So I wanted to offer some thoughts in the form of a blog on what things will actually help President Obama win reellection in 2012.
