Apparently the White House has better sense than many posters on this site (Thank God). Where the posters' standard response is to alternately tell conservatives their vote doesn't matter and then threaten to hold them responsible for a potential Bush loss, the White House appears to be taking a more mature view of the situation.
Bottom line: this proves that conservatives have the power to influence politicians when they're willing to hold them accountable for their actions. It also proves that the White House realizes this election cannot be won without holding onto the conservative base.
