Wow Bush has taken away the Soccer moms(an important voting bloc) from the demos. Oh the horror(for the demos).
I wonder if W is think along these lines. Telling the Chicken Little's to put up or shut up.
Once they have broken that barrier, they are indeed on their way to freedom from the Rats for good.
This is a fundamentla, seismic sift int he electorate. It holds the seeds of true, institutional reform in the future (the immediate future and remember these are the women imparting political values to the next generation).
Seems to me sewing up the soccer mom vote, and laying the foundation for future change in electorate, is a pretty good use of political capital.
