Now that the seed is planted, Freeman has to get them to compare gaming odds with the odds that the exit polls were all wrong in key swing states, etc.

1. This was a GREAT way to do it - I sent it to my local news outlets

so they could GET IT.

Graphics really move a story for people - That's why I am certain that whoever the graphics editor at the WaPo must have realized how strong this story really is, because he's highlighting it with this chart. He's clearly not on Bush's payroll.

2. The Last Topic..." Handling Issues" Is A Sure Give-A-Way.... So

as long as this is NEVER addressed of fixed, it's same ole, same ole!

IMO, this is almost the MOST crucial issue facing us today and I have YET to see any REAL changes made. We have elections coming up and we ALL KNOW that regardless of polls, exit polls and actual reality that something was rigged, unless we find some way to hold officials accountable... it don't mean dog!

Even with the monumental screw-up in 2000, then the VERY doubtful 2004 election, here we sit in the same hole and NOTHING has been done. All the allegations, whistles blowers or any other topic addressing this have gone by the wayside.

We don't have long, and Katherine Harris is "running" again, so folks how deep does it have to get?

I just came from a road-side Demonstration here in Sarasota County, which I feel was VERY successful. Lots of people, lots of support from traffic and honking with thumbs up. All this in a VERY RED county. But I see nothing has changed with OUR machines, unless I missed something somewhere. We don't even have a paper ballot! I sometimes wonder if I should "bother" voting.

Most people I talked with today, said that it's going to come down to "the people" to get anything done, but many are just NOW becoming "active!" Not much time for much change!

3. At least I had a choice of a paper ballot in the primary.

I certainly hope that choice is open for Movember.

Of course, a machine counts the paper ballot; but at least there's a paper trail.

4. We TRIED To Get Paper Ballots Before 2004 And They Denied

us this option! That's why I certainly think Katherine Harris was beat by Jan Schneider last time out... but it will NEVER be proved!

Cruella & her Coven reign!
