"Are those domestic detention centers built yet?" I reckon it depends on KBR's sense of urgency. Contract was awarded in Jan. BERKELEY, Calif.--A Halliburton subsidiary has just received a $385 million contract from the Department of Homeland Security to provide "temporary detention and processing capabilities." The contract -- announced Jan. 24 by the engineering and construction firm KBR -- calls for preparing for "an emergency influx of immigrants, or to support the rapid development of new programs" in the event of other emergencies, such as "a natural disaster." The release offered no details about where Halliburton was to build these facilities, or when. november.org If they approach this with the urgency of Katrina relief, they aren't built. If they are committed to it, 8 months would be enuf time. I suspect the latter. Gollum would push this.

I imagine we will see all of the dirty tricks. The key will be generating sufficient majorities so that the loss of a number of votes will not make a difference. The problem with the presidential elections is the Electoral College. With that archaic mechanism in place, all the GOP has to do is keep it close with their gaggle of ignorant states. Then all they need to do is steal 1 (Florida) or 2 (Ohio and Florida) to take power. The midterms are not quite as easy to manipulate, ironically.
