Yeah, but this is pretty darn blatant. They are playing with fire here. They will lose a lot more than they gain with this, particularly out in the Bush Zone.

It could blow up in their face VERY bad. This is a desperation "Hail Mary" play - and desperation can lead to big mistakes.

That would blow up in their face. Talk about energizing the opposition right before an election! See my post above. I really don't think that even if they tried it, they would succeed. It would get struck down by the SCOTUS.

Could the dim Governor appoint someone like Lisa Beamer as a Democrat to 'look' non-partisan?
