What can the designer be other than God (Christian or otherwise)?

I believe you proved my point. The designer, according to ID (and again, I am not expert on it), does not have to be the Christian God. Thus ID is not an explicitly Christian statement in and of itself.

Still no news on the Dover election. But now there are way over 100 (maybe 200) news stories on Google, all quite similar, mostly headlined: "Board Rescinds 'Intelligent Design' Policy."

I agree it is not explicitly Christian, but it is explicitly religious. Only a god can be the designer. If the designer arose by abiogenesis and evolution, no matter where that happened, then the designer could not be intelligent, by definition.
