Tipsters- Ok. You expect me to believe that the current administration is resorting to (wait for it) subtlety? I just don't think the conspriacy thing holds up in this case. What other issue, among the many, are they subtle about? As a tree hugging, vegetable eating, red meat disliking, anarchistic, Bush detester of a liberal, I have to say, "Maybe they made a mistake?" :) Tim

The point was for the Bushies to be able to tell their base "well, we tried; you see how evil the other guys are" and make political points. It's the same strategy as the (anti) gay marriage amendments that have no chance of passing, but whose presence on the ballot guarantees that the trogolodytes will get out and vote." I don't think that the marriage amendments are the best example of electoral chum (something that has no chance of passing but serves only to get out the extremists on your side to vote). A google search for state marriage amendment turned up the attached chart at: http://www.heritage.org/Research/Family/Marriage50/Marriage50States.cfm. Although I am sure this organization is biased in favor of such amendments, I don't think the chart is inaccurate.
