27. pssst...there is no republican now on election reform

Edited on Wed Jan-05-05 01:58 PM by pgh_dem

So what difference does it make?
If public consciousness of the 'irregularities' is raised to a degree that all of congress feels it has to do something about it, then you have some reason to expect support from republicans. You'll never get weasels like DeLay or Santorum, but if the heat is turned up enough, folks like Chafee and McCain could be persuaded to help out.
(edit to acknowledge AllegroRondo's superior speed and clarity on the same point - cheers
