Here’s a fun question for discussion: what do you think will be the voter bases for the Republican candidates seeking the San Diego City Mayor’s Office in 2012?
In 2000, Dick Murphy, a Del Cerro resident, built a GOTV machine in his nearby San Carlos/Navajo precincts and dominated the vote there on Primary Election Day. In 2005, Jerry Sanders built a broad high-propensity voter coalition of voters over 65 and moderate Republicans to advance to the general election.
What voter groups will be important in the 2012 race? Tea Partiers, small business owners, conservatives, coastal Republicans vs. inland Republicans, sportsmen, values voters, etc.?
