Bush should do battle where the voters are. Lunar block grants aren't going to increase the number of Bush voters on the moon, even if it is made the 51st state between now and November.

That's right, there won't be many voters at all on the moon for a long time to come. However, the idea of lunar block grants is good. The grant recipients will be on earth where they will be near both the polling places and near the mailbox so they can send donations to their favorite political parties and also vote for their favorite candidates.

Bush would not consider whether the action would gain him votes or not--he does what is right in his own estimation and hopes the citizens see it the same way.
