See the partial-birth abortion ban, for example. Both sides believe it is the end of the fucking world either way and the argument is so shrill that neither side needs megaphones. But at the same time, both sides agree that it really only affects maybe less than a thousand people. Incredible amounts of fury, very little change.

Isn't there a method to the madness? Pick hotbutton issues that really affects very few. That way if you lose there are not many that will remember you lost because once it's out of the headlines only the affected will remember.
The map? Thank god the Atlantic and the Gulf still go Democratic.
