OT> Yep, good luck finding an untainted politician....short little story....when I was still in college I worked one summer for a state rep in Florida during a campaign. At the end of the summer I found out that she had been having an affair with another state rep. She was on her third marriage at the time. And this was only the tip of the iceberg in terms of sexual relationships between her, her aide and her husband....they were all engaged in all kinds of things. But within a year or so the two reps had divorced their spouses and gotten married. He became Speaker of the House in Florida and she was appointed as head of the DNR. Who says you can't mix sex and politics? <g>

just remember salon.com is a wholly owned subsidiary of the democratic party. all the players in the fla drama are rabid partisans. why can't they contract some german firm to count the votes. on germany's most popular TV show yesterday they asked 3 americans to count chairs in an auditorium. there were less than 2,000 chairs but no one person came close to the correct total. their conclusion: americans can't count. imo none of this would have happened had the repubs had the wisdom to nominate mccain instead of the party establishment's boy. i do think most of the election uncertainty is now priced in and other factors will dictate the direction from here.

OTThanks for the Salon article...it's peanuts compared to the out and out ballot-stuffing Chicago's been famous for but it does reinforce the arguments in favor of machine counting versus any partisan human "interpretation" of individual votes--MK--
