Eh, there's two ways to do it for both parties. Appeal to the base and rely on turnout of vote-or-stay-home people, or appeal to the center and pick off conflicted voters.
I'm not sure there's a Pareto optimal strategy. A bit of game theory, too, as if one side makes their strategy clear, maybe the other one is better.
