As President Bush strode to the White House podium with Rep. Charlie Norwood, R-Ga., Wednesday evening to announce that a compromise on the patients' bill of rights had been reached, no one was more surprised than Rep. Greg Ganske, R-Iowa.
Norwood took some heat earlier in the year when he and Ganske were called to the White House and pressured by senior strategist Karl Rove to refrain from introducing their bill until they could come to a compromise.
In previous incarnations, Norwood had been the original drafter of the bill, "the Norwood-Dingell bill" that Vice President Al Gore continuously, clumsily harangued then-Gov. George W. Bush for not supporting in the third presidential debate.

 New analysis shows Norwood amendment expands voting rights act protections
Far from "gutting" Section 5 coverage as opponents allege, the Norwood Amendment focuses its pre-clearance portions on areas with current low voter turnout, which is the historical test under the Voting Rights Act.
The presidential election years used to determine if a violation occurred would be updated from the current 1964, 1968, and 1972 to the most recent three cycles of 1996, 2000, and 2004, and automatically updated in the future.
Charlie violations that are immune from federal oversight due to having committed no violations in the Nixon-McGovern election would automatically be placed on the Section 5 oversight list if they violated either "trigger" in any one of the most recent three cycles.
