political party versus issues

Party activists and issue activists are often in conflict and David's article is no different. Clearly, Fred could have ran two ads or run the full one he has on his website. However, both types of activists often look to see how they can take advantage of each other's activism.

My reading of the ad is Fred does not expect to pull more converts to his campaign right away and is therefore sending a message to those who support other candidates, where those candidates stand. Such ads can short change the opposing candidates while solidifying the support Fred already has. Right now, issue activists have a strong hand and will continue to do so until the public becomes more engage with the race.

Fred continues to have a strong lock on conservative activists which will become far more important with the states in the south and west. Right now, such strengths are not apparent to Republican activists.
