This one is right out of the Clinton handbook...

Step 1: Find a victim
Step 2: Have them wave around their 'bloody shirt'
Step 3: Get yourself on TV, have people associate you with assuaging the victim's plight.

-- People think victims on the news are 'losers' but anyone that helps them or takes up their cause is a 'good samaritan'. There are no good samaritans in DC.

Anyone remember the lady Gore used in the election to show why we needed medicare reform because she had to pick up cans alongside the highway to pay for her medications? This is a common tactic.

Why this is really not newsworthy: Lieberman is not even suggesting legislative reform. Hell, read the article he's not even suggesting CHANGE!

The college representative quoted in this essentially didn't want to look like pro-drinking bad-guys so they simply said that change is difficult and any expected results are unrealistic (which is probably true).

This type of grandstanding serves no purpose except to try to pick up a few moderate votes in the '04 election.

College vote? WHAT college vote? Our age group rarely votes which is why we have no voice in DC or state government.
