Finally some major disagreement - on a spurious issue

In the midst of a campaign that continues to be mostly dull the Republicans have finally trotted out an issue on which the centrist candidates disagree. A constitutional amendment aimed at banning flag-burning in the U.S. failed to win Senate passage by a single vote. Cantwell and Murray both voted No.

According to the report, McGavick "has been 'vocal' in support of the flag-burning amendment, campaign spokesman Elliott Bundy said in a telephone interview. Yet Bundy said McGavick doesn't plan to press the point in campaign ads because 'it hasn't proven to be a big issue.'"

So is this a significant issue or not? What does Mark Wilson think? Or Aaron Dixon? Or Bruce Guthrie? If you know, please tell us!
