That would be the occasion for the sympathy I spoke of earlier; but I
have no sympathy for her 9/11 conspiracy-mongering, and little
sympathy for the Tupac Shakur bill (which seemed populist
grandstanding at best). All of these generated lots of negative
attention from "neutral" elements in the press, setting up a situation
where attention would be wicked away from concrete policy issues:
hardly what you want if organizing people around policy alternatives
is the main goal of the campaign.
