P. Littbarski said:on a slightly unrelated note...I think the Guardian campaign to write to a voter in Ohio was also an extremely arrogant and foolish ploy...they called it a "Democratic Toolkit" (George Orwell would have been proud)...and this has backfired and probably will lead more people to vote FOR Bush then against him.
No one likes being told what to do..Imagine people from all over the world sending letters to Irish households in which they explained why THEY think people should not vote for Bertie and FF. Imagine the backlash against foreigners trying to interfere in OUR democratic process... I don't think it would go down to well in our own backyard.
I think you're right... 'Outsider Psychology' .... Think Michael Lowry in North Tipp ... The Dublin papers did more for his vote than a year of canvassing....
