If this actually helped the GOP it would never be pushed by the dims. Granted the dims are stupid and it could backfire on them but if so they would do a 180 on this issue in a New York minute.
Exactly! If, as is widely expected, the GOP candidate wins in 2012, we can expect the Rats to challenge NPV in court and for Brown to refuse to defend it (the same way Arnie refused to defend Prop. 8). It's a win-win for the rats in CA. If the GOP candidate wins the NPV, the rats still take CA through the courts. If Obama wins the NPV, the rats take CA through NPV. If you are a rat, what's not to love??
