Doug, Aren't you understating what's happening? The Reps realize they have only
one way to hold onto power: to stir their followers up to a moral frenzy so
they'll turn out at the polls. Have we ever seen anything like this--a small
minority of religious zealots have usurped power in the US through a super
minority--less than 20% of the eligible voters actually participating in
elections. But these are the people who vote no matter what and they vote one
way.

The Rep moveda is really an attempt to discredit the Presidency in such a way
that even Democrats will not want to vote and the Reps can make their case that
their candidate (Elizabeth Dole?) is more legitimate. This will consolidate
their takeover of the government.
