See Josh Marshall on Republican vote suppression efforts in Milwaukee.

Question: Why would anyone take a voting list generated by the Republican Party seriously? I mean, what is it going to be but a cull of their campaign database, sliced by people who will never vote for the Republicans?

And while we're asking questions:

Here are the words of a worried Bush dupe supporter:

[A] real estate agent who attended a Bush rally on Saturday in Grand Rapids, Mich., said she was infuriated by Mr. bin Laden's interjection into the campaign. She was also a bit worried about it.

"He is trying to make the president look incompetent," [she] said. "I just hope people will realize that he is trying to influence our democracy and our election."

Fascinating, isn't it? It isn't about, um, facts—whether Bush is incompetent—it's about appearances—whether Bush looks incompetent. Totally post-modern...

Anyhow, I'd go with the facts. Clearly, Bush is incompetent.

Three years ago, Bush says "Bin Laden, dead or alive."

Today, Bin Laden's the picture of health, and making video tapes seen by millions.

Does that sound competent to you?
