Tricky Dick burglarized Democratic hq, but he was re-elected AFTER Watergate, which makes me think Dubya has a shot after Lying Bastardgate. <G> And nobody in the media other than Krugman, who I am starting to respect despite his goofus economics (not as goofus as Art Joker's, er, Laffer's, but still pretty silly), will call the voting machine rigging a problem. It really minds the boggle. <G>
