Actually, the Democrats didn't invent this, as I recall the extremely unpopular Republican Governor of the US State of Connecticut, John Rowland, winning reelection in 1998 by adopting the campaign policies of his Democratic opponent (the ultra-crooked Barbara Kennelly), as well as offering a pre-election state income tax refund (if memory serves me, it was US$300. I actually received this refund and COMPLAINED ABOUT IT AT THE TIME!!!. But guess what the result was: (per Wikipedia at:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_G._Rowland ): "His plurality over Kennelly in 1998 was among the largest recorded for any Connecticut politician."; and: "He was the first Connecticut governor to be elected to three terms since 1784.", and:(did you fail to predict this one?): "Rowland is the only Connecticut governor to have ever faced impeachment and he is the only Connecticut governor to have served prison time."
So, the bribe may well work, I just hope it doesn't work against honest Republican candidates such as Rand Paul and Christine O'Donnell, but only the NSA can fully fathom the bottomless stupidity of the American people.
