"...It's that openness that worries me, that in-your-face attitude. Most politicians worry about the next election. The Bushies seem to be taking the 2004 presidential election for granted. They don't seem to care what the people think.

They act like the fix is in and they know it.

(snip)

Fast-forward now to Ohio, where Republican Walden O'Dell, in a fund-raising letter, recently wrote that he is "committed to helping Ohio deliver its electoral votes to the president next year."

That's fine. That's what political fund-raisers are supposed to say.

But in this case, maybe it isn't so fine. Not when you consider who O'Dell is.

According to an Aug. 28 article in Cleveland's Plain Dealer, O'Dell is chief executive of Diebold Inc. And Diebold is one of three firms "eligible to sell upgraded electronic voting machines to Ohio counties in time for the 2004 election."

Let's put it another way: The guy whose machines might be counting the votes in Ohio next year is in Bush's back pocket. (O'Dell visits Bush in Crawford and is a member of the Rangers and Pioneers, the unduly flattering names given to Bush's wealthiest contributors.)

Add two and two together, and you might get four."

1. Let's put it another way:

The guy who probably counted most of the votes in the last election is in *'s back pocket.

The last couple of elections had votes that were either mis-counted or outright stolen. We know, and 'they' know. It is time for the American people to know.

Drumroll, please!
