So, are the Diebold execs and programmers cons or neocons?

With all the talk about Bay Buchanan, Richard Viguerie, Colin Powell, Toady Woodward, and so many others jumping ship and dumping on the Boy King and the Boy Lover, I'm kind of wondering where the people who count stand. You know, the people who actually "count" the votes. What if Diebold decides to sit this one out and let their machines just count the votes? Or what if they just decide that they want their business to continue and that enough people are onto them now that they need to lay low for this one or potentially go out of business?

How will we know or how would we know? Here are some possibilities:

- No new software patches being applied to Diebold machines, although that's hard to know, but people in election departments may be starting to pay attention and be willing to speak up.

- No one-sided machine "glitches" on election day.

- Pukelicans panicking ahead of election day instead of confidently predicting victory.

- Rovian hail mary plays like bombing Iran, overthrowing Chavez, or small plane crashes with Dem Senate candidates aboard. :scared:

What other ideas do you have for how we'll know?

1. All the neocons should be cons

as in convicts.

2. Are election machine fraudsters local or national?

If fraudsters are local and undisciplined, then I expect them to intervene, in a fairly obvious way. Monkey with paw caught in cookie jar, won't let go of cookie.

If they're national and disciplined, run by Bush's unhappy bosses, they may sit this one out.

But then again a Democratic Congress would probably fix the voting machine problem. So the key to the election machines will be changed...

Did you notice that in a recent Ohio ballot referendum, in which only one proposition affected ballot counting issues, the exit polls were right on all the propositions except the ballot counting one. It was pretty obvious. In other words, they were local and undisciplined.

Anyway, good question...
