Well, James, under the circumstances I would say that it should be perfectly clear that picking the people the President's incorrigable supporters dislike most is neutral at worst and positive at best. There will be no "crossover" voting in this election. The fact that you even bring this issue up point to the still lingering illusion among "conservatives" that they are somehow a "majority", and the rest of us are not "real Americans" but (I presume) merely holograms. They weren't a majority in 2000, when nothing more serious than "compassionate conservatism" (my god, how diminuative and ridiculous that sounds now!) was on the line, and they won't be in 2004. By the way, thanks for the link to the Carter material. It was sad to see it get lost in the cracks of the coverage. It deserved much better.
