Agree. No compromise. The Democrats will rue the day! Ads...Can't you just SEE and HEAR them now??????

Nobody asked me, but I say there should be no compromise: no give on the fines, no give on already-lenient election law. Let the unsurpassed arrogance of power stand. It will carry a backlash. Which means that those who so eagerly will do anything to color Illinois Democrat-blue for president, may confront a voter rebellion brimming with disgust. If Bush has to fight for Illinois on a write-in with one hand tied behind his back, he just could win. TV screens on Nov. 2, 2004, could show Illinois swabbed in Republican red -- to match the burning embarrassment on Democrats' faces.

Because the Republicans will hold their national convention in early September and the Illinois Election Code requires certification of ballots in August, a minor change needs to be made in state law.

The arrogance and sense of entitlement inherent in this statement would be breathtaking, had we not already seen so many other examples of GOP high-handedness.

Completely agree.
