Supreme Court Decision on Voter ID

Is The SCOTUS Picking Another President? By making this decision now, it may have an impact on the Indiana primary, and the Democratic race. Not mentioned is the impact that John McCain being the presumptive nominee for Republicans has on voter turnout of crossover "Democrats".

While the whole Florida-Michigan fiasco, was based on the early elections hoping to put them more in play, that and the McCain "success" make late players more in play. These complicated cross-currents, not only make Florida-Michican but all late races more in play. It is ironic that so many want the race to be over, which would disenfranchise the late states, but the Supreme Court decides early to have their say on Indiana, while McCain is sidelined from the media scrutiny and Republican support as well.

[update: "Fair and Balanced"* Sermon ] And Breaking!
[on the Indiana law, I don't know if there is much evidence that there is actual voter ID fraud, but there is evidence (in different states] of voter disenfranchisement fraud and other violations of law by Republicans, a broad claim I will not detail at this time, but which include the "remedy" Indiana has installed.]

* for the culturally untuned: the motto of Fox News

[delayed broadcast of The Ed Schultz Show just ended: He points to the 180 that Obama has done on Wright but ...with McCain he can do it in a sentence or two. And I dislike the metaphor of throwing anyone under the bus, but it should call into question who will be "at the table" or what that means for Clinton, Obama or McCain.]
