One of the young people interviewed as part of Hannity's "man on the street" interviews today expressed draft anxiety. There might be a whispering campaign going on that Bush will cause a draft.

There absolutely is such a campaign going on. This week-end I visited with a 15-year-old cousin who is a rabid Kerry supporter. She knows I am a Bush voter, and before she even said "hello" to me, she confronted me with the fact that Bush is going to implement a draft.

I asked how he would do that all by himself, and pointed out that the first politician in recent times to call for a draft was congressman Charles Rangel (D-Harlem). Didn't matter to her. She is sure that she is going to be drafted when she is 18 if Bush wins.

It's stupid to draft women at all, but the Politically Correct draft bill introduced by Rangel does just that.

And, yes, the Democrats are using the draft issue to try to drum up youthful votes.

The IMPENDING MILITARY DRAFT was a big topic in the Atlanta paper this morning. I figured it must be the latest talking point. Wonder how these people communicate. Forged memo, perhaps?
