Bush/Cheney's inclusive campaign

The Cheney campaign conducts racial profiling of the journalists covering him.

Organizer Christine Walton asked for Popat's race in telephone conversations with two other Star editors before she spoke to Hayt. They also refused to provide the information. Walton told Hayt that Popat's race was necessary to allow the Secret Service to distinguish her from someone else who might have the same name.
 
"It was a very lame excuse," Hayt said.

Keep in mind, that like all Bush Cheney events, pre-distributed tickets are required to attend (and a loyalt oath is demanded to actually enter the venue), making the excuse lamer still.

An endorsement form provided to the Journal by Random says: "I, (full name) ... do herby (sic) endorse George W. Bush for reelection of the United States." It later adds that, "In signing the above endorsement you are consenting to use and release of your name by Bush-Cheney as an endorser of President Bush."

I really, really hope they keep this up. The best part is, it seems that you have to call to request tickets, then go the Republican party offices to pick up the tickets. It's not until you get there that you are told you must sign an oath. What a way to woo Undecideds!
