November MUST be monitored -

[Joe for Clark]

This has to happen.

I don't need to utter the negatives - there are two good things, however -

If that election was going to be stolen they'd have to be able to "cheat" in about
450 elections at the same time (or a good fraction thereof) and we'd have to be passive enough to not be looking -at all.

The other thing is Dean is smart enough not to count on lawyers for anything after-the-fact.

God bless the fact that Dean ISN't a lawyer -

We have months to do something - but I think this way,
I do not believe the DLC is capable of chewing gum and walking at the same time.
What happened to Kerry's 20,000 lawyers - are they at the bottom of the sea now??

The point is, we shouldn't guess what someone else may do - we better do it. Worst case is - it gets done twice.

And this is not a partican thing at all at this point - I really am a moderate - through-and-through.

1. november WONT be monitored (none that will do any good)

will we

-have such overwhelming victories that even the dirty machinery cant overcome it?
or
-will they rig it so they win no matter what?

and what will we do when it is as obvious as the nose on your face that our election has been rigged?

2. If we really don't look at this, then maybe we deserve the result.

There is a big difference between obvious and provable, you know.

Obvious, thats when the shackles rise on numbers guys necks - provably - thats when CNN starts reporting it.

Doo you really think they'd take that chance ??

Maybe this is how democracies are truly born.

3. President Carter's organization monitors elections all around

the world.But, it would be cold day in June before the Pubs would allow that. How about inviting international monitoring groups? Lots of them.
