Hi kb. Wrt: <<and she was the marionette being prompted by the mysterious guy who gave her orders, live on world TV, to do this or that. "Pull my strings/And I'll dance for you/I'm your puppet." >>

Didn't see it, but from your description and my experience, it sounds like an attorney giving her advice. Most likely she was scared as hell, and leaning on her lawyer.

BTW: Nixon lost to Kennedy: It is generally accepted that there was vote fraud in Chicago as well as "downstate" Illinois, with Daley's boys being probably more effective criminals. But Nixon needed Illinois AND another big state like Michigan or Texas to win. Heard Doris Kearns Goodwin say this yesterday. His concession was a practical as well as probably patriotic decision.

Theories can tend to become "validated" as they are passed along.

Conspiracy theories are like gossip - hard to resist and often devisive and destructive to the common good. As seppo pointed out, we need to learn to work together better.
IMO being a "uniter" was Bush's most effective campaign message. If he walks his talk, Bush could be an effective president.

There are politicians who are honest and refrain from negative campaigning. E.g. Wisconsins Senators Feingold and Kohl.

IMO the most expeditious and fair conclusion to this election is for Gore to concede by Friday. It's the right thing for him to do.

Take care. Winkman
