![]() ![]() Now seriously, I hope no one thinks those observers want to interfere in your elections. But I still think it's a little over the top to say you have instructions from Washington not to talk to these observers and regard them as dangerous, just to give the signal that you don't think it's necesary for anybody to observe the process of your election. Frankly I don't think it would be such a bad idea to have international observers at all elections, yours as well as ours and every body elses. It would boost confidence. Other than that, it is probably far from practical.

Now whats all this about the republicans harrassing the native americans in South Dakota? They got a county wide restraining order slapped on them but they can still do it in all other parts of the state. And have you seen the latest electoral-vote.com numbers? Kerry is now ahead over all by one point according to an average of all the polls. And he seems to be pulling away in florida and pennsylvania although bush has recaptured ohio and wisconsin for the first time. nail biter...

Has anyone mentioned the Redskins game yet? Apparently for the last whatever years, if the Redskins lose, the incumbent loses. So this is a bad sign for Bush, because the Redskins lost. (There was a funny interview with a player from the opposing team - I guess their kicker was voting for Bush, and the guy was afraid the kicker would intentionally blow his kicks if the game was close!

Come on Kerry for the good of the world get Bush out of power and start setting thing stright!
I acctually have my fingers crossed which is strange. I think people in this country and all over the world are praying Bush gets kicked out and thats a first time and shows just how bad Bush has been for your country. Vote Kerry get rid of Bush and start winning us all back

What does everyone make of this?
Live Journal post I think that it's very wrong that such a thing happenned. The USA is a well-established democracy, there's no need to be so Orwellian. ![]()

A Bush / Edwards admin? I wouldn't necessarily complain. Right at the start of the Demi primaries he was the one that looked young and fresh and... well, he didn't hang round with his Vietnam buddies.

Jonathan - yeah I knew about that possibility - it shouldn't be new to anyone who has read the Constitution - spells it out right there. Now it is a very slim chance that that would happen. I'm sort of surprised that when they changed the Constitution to where the vice president was no longer determined by runner up that they didn't change it so the House and Senate vote on a single ticket versus seperately for President and VP. If anyone is interested in the way the votes have come down in the years - you can look at this site - Presidential Elections, 1789–2000

I'm sick of polls - if anyone asks me how I voted as I'm leaving, I'll say "none of your darn business!"

JD - you're gonna LOVE this one!
![]() It shows New Jersey as the only true 'swing state' - and otherwise has the electoral vote tally at: Kerry 262 - Bush 261 (270 of 538 total necessary to win - the 15 from NJ are the only ones they don't show in one column or the other) http://electoral-vote.com/

Eh? The article said that one woman was turned away - there was no reasoning behind why.
