I think it definitely helped, and that's a very good thing. The problem is the rhetoric didn't change when the bill changed, so when they attacked the bill, they were attacking a different bill. So, instead of just Republicans looking bad, Democrats look bad, too.

I'm curious, though.... does the fact that 'The worst of the bill just didn't make it into the version that passed' still make it a good, or non-voter-suppressing, bill?
