Well, as #2 occurred shortly before an election, I think the potential exists that someone might believe what they saw on the screen and vote republican, thinking that it was a democrat that was in trouble. I would like to believe that people are more informed than that but I have my doubts.
#1, on the other hand, didn't carry the same potential. I don't think that Cheney with an X across his face is going to sway anyone's opinion of the man.
