How to Win an Election - repost

The head of the Republican Party was on Meet The Press this past Sunday talking about how 60% voter turnout in Iraqi elections is some major success against the insurgency. Consider that we invaded Iraqi and set up the elections in the first place but our own voter turnout here in Hawaii was 49.27% If it was such a success for Iraq, you'd think we could get that kind of turnout here where car bombs aren't exactly a daily nuisance and insurgents don't threaten your family if you vote. Maybe that's how Republicans could finally win back control of the state. Start threatening Democrats if they vote, toss a couple of IED's and plant a few car bombs around the Democratic stronghold neighborhoods, maybe they could win back control of the state legislature.
