This is probably the first move by the Bush administration that I have agreed with. However, I don't believe he is pushing for it for scientific reasons. It looks to be an American rallying point to strengthen his ride for reelection in 2004. I never really knew if I was a Democrat or Republican at heart until the Bush administration...now I know that I am definitely a Dem. I plan to get involved more than I ever have in hopes to bounce him from office after one term just like his dad.
It looks like it's going to be tough in TN though...hell, the local NBC channel did not show Saturday NIght Live this week because Al Sharpton was on. They did not want to be obliged to grant equal airtime to the other Democratic candidates by putting him on for 1.5 hours.
