He sure did, which really showed the rest of us what a bunch of malcontents some of the RR was when they sat home.
10,000,000 of them.
the lesson to be learned from 2000 is that they sat home because of a 30 year old DUI conviction. yes, I agree with you that its "small potatoes" in he scope of things, but the point is that it affected their vote. small things can affect alot of votes, and we need those votes, so why antagonize those people?
That was in 2000. and it wasn't 10 million although it was substantial. But ask Phil Buress who organized the anti-gay marriage admendment in Ohio how close he was to the Bush campaign and how close they were to him and how closely they co-ordinated their work. Phil has normally been associated with consitutionalists, but was a huge Bush advocate.
