It is a pretty desperate and despicable attempt to effect the election but I dont really think it did. Because most Americans assumed he was going to get convicted anyway. I mean who thinks hes actually innocent? So for the Bush administration to crow about this as some great accomplishment seems silly and makes them look out of touch and ridiculous. So I never really saw this as a big deal in regards to the election. In fact Id hazard a guess it actualy hurt the republicans more then it helped them.

I might point out that some reporters have now interviewed several Iraqis who are freaking out that we're going to leave. Gee guys, it sure woulda been nice to know that BEFORE the election

Just the Sunnis. But that doesnt mean they dont still hate us more then the Shiites its just they know we will protect them anyway. So Im not sure it will help Bush to have people who hate us asking us not to leave.
