There’s a lesson in here somewhere

A Facebook post from Randy Parraz:

"Just dropped off another 71 new voter registration cards…we are now over 1,000 new voter registration cards in LD 18. Thank you Russell Pearce since the only reason they registered was so they can sign the recall petition!"

So. You put yourself on the line. You stand for something. You give people a reason to register to vote. And you get 1,000 new voters in LD-18.

We need to figure out how to bottle this kind of enthusiasm to use elsewhere. Or, to expand the metaphor a bit, we need to put this idea in a can and ship it around the state, then open a can of Whup-ass on the Republicans in 2012.
