Where do you want * to 'Spend' that 'Politcal Capital'?
Edited on Fri Nov-05-04 06:08 PM by ThoughtCriminal
With the whopping "Mandate" of 2%, Bush Jr wants to spend that good will on something shiny for his base. How about some suggestions?

I'm hoping for something that has extremely negative political cost, but minimal long term damage. Since Jr. seems to go for crap that your grandchildren will have to pay for, it's a difficult task. Ideas?

On edit:
Challenge - it has to be something he wants.
