If Americans have already decided, whats a candidate to do? Obviously, get more voters. In the last few weeks, Ive seen voter registration drives at my office, on my streetcorner, and in the subway on my way to work. And grassroots groups like MoveOn.org and America Coming Together arent the only ones on the job: you can also register through the WWE (Smackdown your Vote) and your local strip club.
Then you just have to get all those folks to show up in November.
