an idea I was working on shortly after the election about the Ku Klux Klan as a model for GOP influence and stealing and suppressing votes:

Since then, especially after the January 6 labeling of the Congressional Black Caucus as "the X-Files wing of the Democratic party" (DeLay) or as "the loony left" (Hastert spokesman in the NYT), it is obvious that racism is going on in the most insidious way, disguised as something else.

A creepy footnote is how Rove spoke shortly after the election at the GOP Governors' conference, and said that Bush had won his mandate due to minority votes.
