<<<< Privately, GOP sources say, Michigan Republicans' stunning decision comes directly from the White House. President George W. Bush takes pride in his outreach initiatives to blacks and Hispanics and has made it clear to state lawmakers that he wants his 2004 reelection path clear of divisive race issues. Michigan Republicans have obliged by abandoning Connerly's proposal.

That sucks. Conerly has it exactly right. Government has no business even collecting racial data in the census, never mind using it in affirmative action programs.

So much for any core, central values in Mr. Bush. Like every other politician, he subjugates core beliefs to the higher interest of reelection.
