Reply #18: Maybe because I don't have any confidence that we can

"prove" such a thing and I don't believe that this administration will allow any such thing to be done if it is not to their advantage. They have just as much ability to distort this as they did the original elections of 2000 and 2001.If anything they now have more power. Kerry and Edwards "sacrificing themselves on the pyre of history" would accomplish nothing. And on another topic, I am perhaps not as ethical as you in that I don't even particularly care if Kerry and Edwards weren't really elected. I think having Bush out of the White House is MORE important than who actually won. But we all have our priorities. I happen to think surviving is right up there and I wouldn't place any bets that we are going to under this regime.One must be, unless one lives in Chicago, alive to vote! Thanks for your patience!
