From a CNN article:
"
...
A liberal organization, NARAL-Pro Choice America, announced its opposition to Roberts even before Bush formally made his selection public in a prime time televised White House appearance on Tuesday. [b]The group planned an "emergency demonstration" against the nomination across the street from the Capitol at midday.[/b]
On the other side of the political equation, Progress For America, a conservative organization, called a news conference to announce a television commercial to begin running soon. The group, which coordinates its efforts with presidential aides, pledged in advance to [b]spend at least $18 million on advertising and grass roots activities[/b] to buttress the confirmation prospects of whomever Bush chose."
What do you think is going to be more effective--
A) a couple hundred hardcore activists making themselves look foolish by declaring an "emergency" (emergency? are we being attacked by terrorists?) yelling in front of the capitol where a few passerby can see them, or
B) An "$18 million advertising and grass roots activities" campaign?
If you answered A) you FAIL
