So, I think, the side that wins will be the side that works the hardest. (At least if we don't have some event or scandal that changes everything). It's a waste of time to try to change the mind of the ~95%. DR, Ten, Ted, you and I are not going to change our vote. The way to win is to get every one on your side to the polls on November 2.
It's grass roots, shoes on the streets local politics, and it has nothing to do with ideology. You walk the streets, ring the doorbells, ask people who they are planning to vote for, then give them a piece of lit. If you know somebody is going to vote your way, you call them 5 times on election day to make sure they voted; if you have to you pick them up and drive them to the polling place. Whatever it takes, you get out your vote, while the other side tries to get out theirs. It's old fashioned Chicago politics.
John,
You're right.........getting out the vote will be key. Another issue that's surfaced recently is whether either candidate will get enough votes in the electoral college to win. I can't remember what happens if that unpleasant prospect actually occurs.......will try to find out later.
