If those supporting the democratic process are not exceedingly vigilant, the GOP could use these tactics--assault on voter registration, electronic voting--to once again take the White House.
Several delegates I spoke with noted that the only aspect of Bush's foreign policy that they viewed positively was rooted in Africa.
