Reply #113: I agree

This, I think, is the first real piece of evidence that the Kerry people really and truly are out there investigating this election. (Everything else I've seen up to now has just been theoretical, i.e., "Kerry MUST be operating under the radar! It's the smart thing to do!") Now I'm much more optimistic.

I had another thought about why Kerry and co. might be trying to stay out of the public eye. Could it also be the case that, with Bush now tipping his hand as to all the hard-core right-wing nutball plans he has for the country, the moderate repubs MIGHT start feeling a bit queasy with their choice for prez? Thus, if something big were to happen in Ohio--an automatic recount, say--it's conceivable that all the moderates out there having buyer's remorse would maybe not have as much of a problem, wouldn't cry foul, wouldn't crow about the democrats trying to "steal" another election. At the very least, if Kerry's people find actual evidence of fraud, it could go a long way to eroding Bushy's Mandate for Megalomania. There again, the moderate repubs that are now having second thoughts might actually join in the fight to keep Bush on a shorter leash.

(Stay tuned for my next mish-mash of mixed metaphors! Or is it mexed mitaphors? :-) )
