As for 'sanitizing' Bush's appearances, do you not notice the same occurring with Kerry. I don't doubt both sides want to make their guy look popular - part of the game, no?

I can't say that I have. I did get to see the Kerry supporters man handled by Tempe's finest during the debates. They got squshed pretty good behind some barricades as a security vehicle went through. The Bush group on the other side did not get the similar treatment. Mind you, the Bush supporters were not engaged in a lively verbal battle with the cops either (the cops out here are all pro-Bush and wear that on their sleeve, against the wishes of the departments I might add) so that might explain why the barricades got moved in the direction and the way they did. Payback is a bitch I guess.
It is pretty well documented that the Bush campaign only allows people into rallies that are die-hard Bush supporters (Sean Hannity types) and does not welcome those Republicans that do not share that same level of enthusiasm.
