Looks like they weren't smart enough

Otherwise, the neocons would have let Terri Schiavo die, thus lending themselves the perfect political circumstances to justify the "nuclear option" for reasons I delineated in my last post.

No, they weren't smart enough. At least their political base wasn't. True to its impetuosity, the religious right surely inundated the neocon-jobs' e-mail inboxes these past 72 hours to halt Schiavo's death.

We can certainly count on some things when it comes to religious right grassroots. Strategy will always take a back seat to dogma.
