Well - I still see all of this as a preaching to the choir phenomenon. The net effect of Soros/Moore/Sayles/etc. may be to stimulate the economy by their purchases of advertising time and film and video production. And then there is the benefit of the dollar Soros, et.al., wastes this year cannot be spent next election cycle.

Everyone who would be influenced by information the quality of a Michael Moore film was going to vote against Bush anyway. I do think that the G.O.P. needs to evaluate this situation - on my more cynical days I tend to think that the dumbing down of America may be about to bear fruit in producing a generation on which this low grade propaganda may actually have an effect. I just don't think we're there - yet.
