Tancredo's office released a statement saying: "Evolution explains changes in life. Creationism explains its origin."
A very smart response, IMO.

Almost. According to most of what I read evolution can explain the difference between two kinds of songbirds or between lions and tigers, but not the difference between a lizard and a flying bird, between dogs and cats, or between fish and lizards. Aside from everything else, there has never been enough time for that according to anybody’s version of how old the Earth is, i.e. you’d need quadrillions of years and not millions or billions. The problem involving the lengths of time needed to pass genetic changes through herds of animals is called the Haldane dilemma and arises from studies of population genetics.

They had BETTER make the fact that the next president will appoint AT LEAST TWO SUPREME COURT JUSTICES a clear stated issue in this campaign. HAMMER THE MESSAGE. Its a foregone conclusion that the Dems will have maximum turnout...irrespective of candidate....they are voting against Bush. The Republicans and silent majority, however, are apt to stay home if the Dem nominee isnt Hillary (and it looks like it wont be). GET ON MESSAGE.
