    There is, of course, The Onion headline: “Republicans Urge Minorities to Get Out and Vote on Nov. 3.”

    “”Let’s be honest,” Republican National Committee chairman Ed Gillespie said. “The Bush camp has been criticized for ignoring the minority vote for some time, especially during the last election. This project is our way of correcting that misperception. The Bush camp is extremely concerned about the black vote, especially in places like Florida, Ohio, and Pennsylvania. This year, on Nov. 3, we’ll make a concerted effort to welcome minority voters into our own special camps with open arms.” ”

    Funny, funny stuff.

    The Wall Street Journal had a front-page story (an honest one, not satire) about the methods used by both parties to stop the constituents of the other side from voting. I found it horrifying, and it’s difficult to tell which side is worse.
