Actually, this gave me a chuckle, for the obviousness of it. http://www.nytimes.com/aponline/national/AP-GOP-Phone-Lines.html Subtlety, not the strong suit here.
Why, that's almost as evil as organizing a traffic jam so that Bradley voters couldn't get to the polls..... As late as 3 p.m. that day, Gore operatives had access to exit polls showing the vice-president being defeated by [Bill] Bradley. They also learned that while Democratic voters were voting in large numbers for Gore, independents, many of them upscale suburban voters, were voting for Bradley's sophisticated brand of liberalism. Knowing that Bradley's strength came from tony tech havens such as Bedford, the Gore team organized a caravan to clog highway I-93 with traffic so as to discourage potential Bradley voters from getting to the polls. (Michael Whouley, a chief Gore strategist, recounted the Gore team's Election Day field efforts at a Harvard Kennedy School Institute of Politics symposium, and his comments are included in a book compiled by the Institute titled Campaign for President: The Managers Look at 2000. He knocked down the rumor that they considered overturning an 18-wheeler to clog up traffic.) The caravan--spoken of with awe by operatives who worked on the campaign-- had the desired effect. It was harder for Bradley voters to get the polls. http://www.bostonphoenix.com/boston/news_features/talking_politics/documents/02685359.htm
This is all good old school politics. Good to see the politics of Chicago is still alive and well in both parties.
