WHO HELPED BUSH WIN?

There's been much talk about the religious right turning out in droves and "giving" Bush a win on 11/3. However, recent analysis of the numbers show that the turnout for the fundamentalists was the same as it was in 2000. No help there. So who did help put him over the top? It turns out that those earning more than $200,000/year were the ones who made it to the polls in larger numbers and put their imprint on Diebolt machines. That really should be no surprise.
So once again the GOP is using the religious fundamentalists as a tool, and not the other way around.
