Tonight on Lou Dobbs....
No matter how you may feel about Dobbs, he has been hitting the election fraud issue pretty hard, with several "Democracy at Risk" segments each week covering various aspects of electronic voting. Tonight he will discuss:


Democracy at Risk: A Diebold T.S. machine has been hacked in a
Princeton computer lab, and experts demonstrated how easy a
virus can be inserted, how quickly it can be done and how
undetected it can be. Tonight we’ll hold a mock election
between George Washington and Benedict Arnold, voting
repeatedly for George Washington. But after the hack, Arnold
wins hands down. How is this possible?


I hate the thought of Arnold winning due to fraud. x(

2. I wonder if he'll do a segment on the "Broken America" series
I know it's the theme of his show nightly, but I hope they give him an hour of the series.

3. He covers the War on the Middle class practically daily...

tonight it will be:


"The stock market continues to make new record highs and
corporate profits are stronger than ever. But middle-class
professionals and their families are still struggling to keep
their jobs and keep their families afloat. We’ll continue with
our series of reports on the War on the Middle Class."

13. Cafferty's special was great, regarding his segment on election fraud

the Republican he was interviewing tried to minimalize conspiracy theories pointing out that the mainstream issue was bipartisan concern about elections being hacked. Then Cafferty flat out asked him about Wally Odell's (Bush fundraising CEO of Diebold) statement: "I am committed to helping Ohio deliver its electoral votes to the president."

5. Of course he is hitting the election fraud issue now
The Repugs want to make sure that no one trusts the results, especially their base. Then they will go to court in rightous indignation to contest the result of every race that is close.

6. Better late than never, and it should be a bipartisan issue....

Hopefully the Dem lawyers will be as or more effective and powerful as theirs. What makes it unbalanced is that the GrOPers control the machine companies (has Dobb's pointed out this fact?)

8. I'll be watching
Lou is a great guy. We may not always agree, but he is certainly a voice for the middle and lower class.

12. Wasn't he reporting on a separate poll taken by CNN?

Then he mentioned the online poll. It went by fast, not sure.
