Bush's status on the Ohio ballot
A friend of mine just told me he read on yahoo a month or so ago that the Bush campaign somehow failed to meet the required deadline to get on the ballot in Ohio, can someone verify the truth of that? I'll check to see if I can find the original article, but if this is true then this will be REALLY nice for Kerry, just think, 22 FREE Electoral Votes!!!

1. I Believe They Changed the Rules So Bush Could File Late
and I think it was a bad idea for the Democrats NOT to contest it.

3. Umm... we have a majority Republican state congress,
both our senators are Republicans, our governor is a Republican, and Democrats are outnumbered in the statehouse two to one. What do you think was gonna happen? Republicans were going to develop a conscience and a spirit of fair play? Yeah, right.

4. Don't get your hopes up
For over a year we've talked about this but Dems from California and Illinois and West Virginia and Alabama where this was an issue all caved and agreed to put Bush on the ballot. This is the man who challenged Gore on following the "rule of the law" in 2000 who didn't follow it this time and of course the Democratic party didn't raise any real or lasting objections.
