Less noise being heard about polling disruptions?
Since early-voter turnouts seem to be pretty high (and a little dem heavy) this year, do you think that BushCo may be re-thinking plans to jack up the terror alert level to disrupt voting in certain areas?

It wouldn't be very advantageous for them to say "Oh, everyone needs to stay home, there's a terror threat", and the repubs that haven't bothered to get an absentee ballot wouldn't be able to make it to the polls.

I'm trying to make sense of all this, but it's just making my head hurt.

I voted last week, and I'm trying to stay in the fight, but it's very difficult =/

2. I think BushCo is in disarray.

I suspect people are looking over their resumes, wondering if they could get in big trouble sending them out now ahead of anyone else.

Nothing is breaking right for them. NOTHING. Not Wolves, not Iraq, not flu, not the endorsements, and worse, fiscal conservatives seem to have defected en masse. That means, if they don't jump ship now, they might have to work for Reverend Moon in the future.

Flopsweat. Sure, maybe they could screw with the machines enough to toss it to the Court, but there's no guarantee the Court would take it this time. What if we don't know who's President by January?

Four years of smouldering anger...if the decision goes to the House? A sincere and determined Democratic Party could make sure to run opposition in every district. We are angry people. It would be wise to heed us.

BTW, ABC News just mentioned that 76% of Arab Americans will break for Kerry. Four years ago, George had them in the bag.
