Wayne,

You lost me when you interpreted photo op setups as statements on morals.
What do you infer by Mr. Bush's use of "ticket only " admission to his
rallies as a way of concealing dissenters? To me these things are just
photo op management; they say nothing of "morality".

Well, not morality. But smarts, they do say something about smarts.
If you have to sign a loyalty oath to hear the man speak then consider:

The folks who were *going* to vote for him anway, will sign and
show up. The folks who weren't going to vote for him, will be
excluded. But they weren't going to vote for him anyway.

But what about the folks in the middle, those who have an open mind?

I suspect they're gonna say "no, thanks." Both at the rally, and
more importantly, in the voting booth.

Frankly that stunt with the admission tickets struck me as a
*particularly* bone-headed move.

Jim
