GUARDIAN letter-writing campaign

I think this is such a foolish move. Even non-reactionary moderates wouldn't appreciate the idea of foreigners telling (begging, whatever) them how to vote. It's already backfired PR-wise, and though we'll never know for sure, I suspect it will backfire in actual votes too.

This kind of remeinds me of a small story I read in the paper this morning. Apparently a top leader in Iran has endorsed Bush, because they think that previous Democrat presidents have been harder on them and their human rights violations than the Republicans have. The Bush campaign is refusing to accept the endorsement.
