The blogs and e-mails are convincing in their wording and could incite the sort of reaction that occurred following the Harriet Miers nomination to the Supreme Court. Of course, any liberal could read Free Republic and find out what’s irritating conservatives this week, grab a handful of phrases, and toss it on their “I’m a conservative but voting for a Democratic because of (insert issue here)” blog. After tossing in a few posts about the evils of Hillary Clinton and abortion, the blog is now being run by a bona-fide “conservative.” A few e-mails and link connections later, the message of conservatives voting against Republicans is spread.

It has to be far more subtle than that. What kind of idiot would react to Bush’s lame appointment of not-conservative-enough Harriet Miers by announcing that they would vote for a Democrat.
That’s like announcing your intention to throw some more logs on the fire because it’s burning too hot.
