Keep an eye on how the "unbiased" media handles Ashcroft's role in this. Their so-called objectivity will be on display for all to see.

They should use Larry Thompson or the head of the civil rights division on this, not Ashcroft.

[Brytani]

Media bias has never been more evident since this story broke, even before the court ruled, the media was already calling Lautenberg the Democratic Candidate.

[NativeNewYorker]

Right-wing highly partisan "states rights" attorney general attempts to influence/interfere with judicial/election process even though it is clearly a state matter. That'll be the spin.

But.....Ashcroft is coming out to protect the military ballots!!!!
So when they interview him over and over and over about this, he will repeat the military who is fighting the war on terror are losing their right to vote and that he is protecting their interest in the election.
Puts what was done here in the lap of the Democrats (as a whole) in the news now for this election and is again bringing home the fact that in two elections now, Democrats are trying to negate the vote of the military.

That won't sit well with the public, no matter what they think of Ashcroft.
BRILLIANT MOVE!!!
