The crack crew at Hahvahd has it all figured out: July 4 is basically a vast, right-wing conspiracy. Throw another dog on the barbie!
A new Harvard University study finds that July 4th parades energize only Republicans, turn kids into Republicans, and help to boost the GOP turnout of adults on Election Day.

Maybe Republicans should have a holiday to themselves. So many others for gay pride or what not.

About that quote above: sounds good to me.
Let's test the theory: see if there are any 4th of July celebrations in Massachusetts, or in Berkeley.
Also, if the brilliant Harvard solons are right, maybe we ought to move Election day to the Tuesday after July 4.

What else would one expect from Harvard?
Actually, an interesting test of their "report" would be exactly as you suggest - shifting election day.

Repubs own it because Dems denied having any claims to it.
