It's the Minorites...

"It is clear that minority turnout is a wildcard in this race and represents a huge upside for Sen. Kerry and a considerable challenge for the President's campaign. If one assumes minority turnout exceeds their 2000 election levels, then it appears a number of these states would tip to Sen. Kerry."

This comes directly from a report entitled, It Can't Get Any Closer in the Battleground States Minority Turnout is Kerry Key, from Republican polling firm Fabrizio, McLaughlin & Associates, Inc. The report concludes that when the data is weighted to reflect minority turnout based on the 2000 exit polls, Sen. Kerry leads by 3.5% and if minority turnout is weighted to census levels Sen. Kerry's lead expands to 5.2%.

So there should be no doubt as to why the GOP is engaged in a concerted effort to challenge minority voters in battleground states. It's the only way they can win.

Well, there's another way, as suggested by the Onion:

"Republicans Urge Minorities To Get Out And Vote On Nov. 3"

Karl Rove has to be pissed he didn't think of that first.
