You can start here to read all about this little Gillespie snafu (and yes I think it was very dumb on his part with no discernible positive outcome for the Bushies) - Gillespie's cease and desist letter to Rock the Vote.
Won't go into it much but I will say that the fact that he doesn't realize how laughable a sentence like this is: "no less than the President of the United States has thoroughly debunked" the idea that we will need a draft, and continues by using no less than Rumsfeld - that celebrated expert noted particularly for his ability to determine adequate troop levels - to further support his argument that *cough cough* a draft will not be necessary, makes me think that Bush is not the only one caught in the "Bush Bubble".
Also, just for stupid chuckles, is the fact that Gillespie brings up NASCAR and televised wrestling as examples of the Republican appeal to youth! (And then cc's NASCAR and the WWW with the letter).
Needless to say (because you can read it on their blog) Rock the Vote has not taken up Gillespie's offer, and in fact is hitting back twice as hard with evidence that is frankly a little frightening...
