2. That's not the real question.
The real question is will we have a free, fair, and honest election.

Will every vote count? Will voter rolls be scrubbed so that legitimate voters won't be able to vote? Will we all be able to get to our election places on November 2nd?

Will the nominee be painted as a traitor simply for running for President? What kind of lies will be told about him?

What kind of campaign surprises are in store? At what point will Osama bin Laden be "captured"?

What will be the alert status on November 4?

Those are just a few of the things I'm wondering about.

5. stop it already!
We have to talk ISSUES, not random paranoid fears driven by cynical pols who think that Democrats can only be motivated by the fear of loss rather than the prospect of gain.
Dean and Gephardt both went down in flames because the average Democrat does not accept all of this conspiracy stuff. If we buy into all of this phoney anger and conspiracy theories, then we are going to alienate swing voters in the general.
We can't win by sounding like victims.

11. Bush is the king
of random paranoid fears driven by cynical pols. In a fair and free election any dem will win easily. But on the other hand, since we no longer have fair and free elections, Bu$h will win and it won't matter who the democratic candidate is.

You are beating a dead horse.
That kind of talk makes us sound like the sore losers the bushies accuse us of being.
It sounds like you're making up excuses for an expected loss.
Defeatist!

6. I'm surprised this poll
is still up particularly now that the numbers are against "our glorious leader".

7. I think they've taken it down, the question I saw was
"Is Howard Dean done?"

13. 60% say he is with 1000 votes cast
People in america are very short sighted. I think Dean is just getting started and I'm glad he was shown he should not believe the "Liberal Media" Hype. Now it gets down to some real debate on what is the best direction for America and who can steer us there the best. Dean is far from done with some forty million dollars in his war chest we will hear much much more from him. Now is the time for more focus and less "in your face" attitude.
