If they go down and get stiff sentences, we might win in multiple ways. The greatest hope is they might decide to rat out the rest of the Kerry/DNC operation to suppress and intimidate Republican voters. One of the things noted here on FR during the campaign was how many apparently unrelated assaults were being conducted against Republican headquarters across the country. Here in Knoxville, for example, somebody fired some shots into the Pubbie HQ. IMHO it's quite possible that this was a nationally coordinated operation and there's at least a small chance this case might blow it open.

I don't doubt that efforts were coordinated one tiny bit. And I'm not a Conspiracy Theorist by any stretch.

In Madistan, people with Bush/Cheney signs on their lawns had SWASTIKAS burned into their grass! I had a Bush/Cheney bumpersticker keyed off my car while I was at work one day in Madistan (I no longer work in the city.) I had my lawn signs repeated stolen (once by my stupid, leftist brother in law!) and I live out in the boonies.

The Madistan GOP Hqs was vandalized and had laptop computers stolen, windows broken and spray painted messages on the walls.

It was insanity, and NOTHING was done about it. Nothing. So this is very important to many of us in this state.
