Great idea, but the problem is, at the door, you typically have about 30 seconds to make your pitch before they tune you out and shut the door in your face or agree with you. I am a yakker, and do sometimes get into debates with people, and every once in a while, they are actually good conversations, but that too is a double edged sword. When you have a team of people out there and one of us is a yakker, I get left behind and then have to hunt everyone else down. Plus its a numbers game, long convos at every door means you don't hit that many doors. So I try to strike a middle ground. One relatively wealthy donor toyed with the idea of mailing out one of the books to his neighborhood, but just settled for a hand signed letter instead.
Maybe conservatives should carry a copy of a few of these books with them and show them to people during these conversations.

I guess I was thinking more along the lines of more casual conversations around these events. But yes, I get your point. No easy answers.
