But striking down voter ID laws in court is the wrong approach. There is nothing inherently wrong with demanding that voters identify themselves with spedified documents.

The Democratic Party and its allies should take the push toward voter ID as a challenge for voter enrollment and orgamization. We should deliver so many voters to the polls on November sixth that all the battleground states go definitively Democratic and re-elect Obama-Biden by a large margin.

Hopefully, the Dems will use a lot of video and personal testimonials to how their policies have kept jobs in Anerica, brought jobs to our communities and aided and assisted people in hard times.

One would hope the Dems will concentrate on the service that government provides for us, from soldiers, sialor, airmen and marines overseas defending us to teachers working with kids of all levels of ability.

One would hope that the Democratic Convention will feature the mayors, governors, state legislators and others who make government work.

One would hope that instead of delivering applause lines and acting like big kahunnas, Vice President Biden and President Obama will remind us of the reasons we elected them to serve and offer us their programs and visions for our shared future.

In passing, I would also like to note the excellent job Mrs. Romney did for her husband and for the GOP down ticket candidates.

In her speech, Mrs. Romney was talking to the Mom’s who home school or who volunteer as class mothers for their kids.

In very many instances, these women are highly educated, and have had successful professional jobs. They gave up these jobs to take care of their kids, their husbands and their homes. They work hard and receive no monetary pay.

Stay at home Moms rewards are a sense of accomplishment, love and appreciation. Mrs. Romney has more authority and validity than Mrs. Obama, a lawyer, or Mrs. Biden, a college professor, in speaking to stay at home moms, a very numerous, energetic and loyal group.

Governor Romney’s respectful and appreciative approach and embrace of his wife after speech was pitch perfect.

Mrs. Romney delivered one of the few constructive and uplifting addresses of the GOP 2012 Convention, and protected and expanded the GOP base. Her performance is probably the biggest factor in the post convention bounce the GOP received.

Romney was balancing the GOP ticket to assure that the main factions of the party are well represented.

Romney did his job in nominating Ryan and Ryan appears to have done his job in motivating the TEA Party to support the 2012 GOP ticket.
