10. It was unfair but in a good way

Three of the guests and Diane spent most of the time beating up on the Diebold shill. I spent most of the time just astounded that this kind of info is finally getting out on the airwaves. The talk went all over the place: the need for a paper trail (the Diebold guy essentially admitted that's a good idea and described the districts that don't have a paper trail as a shortcoming), security problems, breakdowns. Once-taboo subjects like Gore's disappearing 16,000 votes in FL in 2000 and Kerry's disappearing votes in OH in '04 got brought up. I don't remember a single pro-Diebold caller.

11. thanks so much! Did you watch the Lou Dobbs show yesterday on it?

1 HOUR of TV totally shredding evoting. It's too late for past elections but I finally feel some home for future ones.

I've never seen her lose control of guests like this.
