Rue,
New york republicans are not particularly scary. They're much like me. We never get the "evolution's just a theory" sort.

Washington, Nov. 7 -- MoveOn.org Political Action is offering a $250,000 reward for new material evidence leading to a felony conviction for an organized effort of partisan voter suppression or electronic voting fraud.

Throughout the day accusations of election fraud and voter suppression incidents have been flooding into state and federal authorities throughout the country. In Virginia, the FBI has launched a criminal investigation into charges of voter suppression. In 20 Congressional districts, NRCC robocalls appearing to come from Democrats harassed voters with repeated calls in an apparently coordinated campaign to suppress the vote.

I was up anyway cause of the idiot Dem suporters shouting and marching around on the corner waving "Stop Bush" signs... As if he were even on the ballot. If I wasn't already registered Republican, Id have changed over this season if for no other reason than to disassociate myself from the hysterics.

"In Haig's presence, (Sir Heinz "Henry") Kissinger (Knight of the British Empire) referred pointedly to military men as 'dumb, stupid animals to be used' as pawns for foreign policy. Kissinger often took up a post outside the doorway to Haig's office and dressed him down in front of the secretaries for alleged acts of incompetence with which Haig was not even remotely involved. Once when the Air Force was authorized to resume bombing of North Vietnam, the planes did not fly on certain days because of bad weather. Kissinger assailed Haig. He complained bitterly that the generals had been screamin for the limits to be taken off but that now their pilots were afraid to go up in a little fog. The country needed generals who could win battles, Kissinger said, not good briefers like Haig."

"On another occasion, when Haig was leaving for a trip to Cambodia to meet with Premier Lon Nol, Kissinger escorted him to a staff car, where reporters and a retinue of aides waited. As Haig bent to get into the automobile, Kissinger stopped him and began polishing the single star on his shoulder. 'Al, if you're a good boy, I'll get you another one,' he said."

Someone from another site I'm on sent me this link which is a report on voting problems - machines and human - rather interesting.
It's a documentary called "Hacking Democracy."
I couldn't get the link pasted in but if you cut and paste it works.

Very cool, Rue!

Oh, and since you brought up "The Insider," and you've expressed support in the past for me quitting smoking, I wanted to let you know that I haven't smoked a cigarette in two months.

excerpted from http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2006/11/8/22911/0286
It seems that the elections never end on election day anymore. There are several recounts afoot and a run-off in Texas. There's also a run-off in Louisiana, where state Rep. Karen Carter will face off against corrupt U.S. Rep. William Jefferson in LA-02.

This race matters because we need to send a strong message, a message that the Democratic Party won't tolerate corruption on either side of the aisle. Come January, we're finally going to take back the House. But before we do, we need to clean house first. And that's why the Swing State Project, DailyKos and MyDD are officially endorsing Karen Carter in her runoff on Dec. 9th.
