Terrible article, full of errors.
At least it is pro-space.

Right now, GWB is going to win Florida and Texas. He'll be competitive in NY state. The fourth big state is California, which went with Clinton-Gore in 92 and 96 and with Gore by (I think) 15 points in 2000. Gore spent little in 2000, although he did run an illegal scheme out of the VP's office during the 1996 campaign to selectively naturalize aliens in California. Arnold not only beat Gray Davis (despite high profile help for Davis from the Hollywood Brainlessness Trust), he got more votes in the splintered recall vote than Davis got in the regular election that preceded it.
California is a high tech and aerospace state with a large Hispanic population. Bush sez "Moon, better means to orbit, Mars" and "decriminalize Mexican illegal immigrants" and spends a little campaign cash, and maybe wins California. That's the outcome I want.
But that's not why I'm in favor of the Bush proposal. I'm in favor of the Bush proposal because it's exactly what I've been saying. Being a low profile internet nickname means I don't get any attention. I've been saying it because it makes sense. :')

This, of course, is a reference to the belief held by some (all liberal) Americans that the money should instead be spent by government on bloated and inefficient educational bureaucracies and social welfare programs to buy votes for Democrats in future elections.
There are also some Americans who believe that the money should instead remain in the hands of those who earned it, to be used as they see fit.
