I don't think the wacko base like MoveOn will keep its mouth shut -- not until the nomination is assured. They can't help mouthing off.
IMO, the wackos like MoveOn.org and RocktheVote.com, and the Hollywood crowd
helped GWB this last election. They ruffled an underlying moral base of middle America who rebeled against their anger, their disrespect, their bazaare antics.
