" Companies like Diebold Election Systems, which is one of the largest manufacturers of computerized voting machines, have not done their case much good by getting involved in politics. Walden O'Dell, the chief executive of Diebold Inc., is an ardent Republican fund-raiser who has committed to "helping Ohio deliver its electoral votes" to President Bush in next year's election. Such comments naturally fuel concern, especially among Democrats who note that Ohio is an important swing state in presidential elections and that machines from Mr. O'Dell's operation are among those being considered as new voting technology across the country."

Not a great editorial, but the lead one today.

3. hmmm

not even being shy about it anymore.
even if they were caught cheating after the election{assumption bush is elected}.
the result wouldn't be to boot bush out re-do the election there.
they don't care if they are caught -- as long as the timing is right.

4. brazen remarks

They nailed their toes to the floor again with that remark. Now everyone will be watching and this quote will be waved in their faces throughout the entire election process.

Thank God Republicans are so arrogant. They are their own undoing.
