75. I'm glad he wasn't out in front
We know Kerry was asked by the representatives in Congress to stay away Jan. 6th. I feel we have a better chance at fighting for election reform if our objections aren't tied to the result, but the process.

I had a conversation last night with a Conservative who shared our concern about electronic voting, and the fact that we don't all vote on the same machines. Of course, he and I are usually able to find common ground when we speak to each other. But still, it was nice to have a conversation with someone from the "other side" who can be reasonable. I think his angle is that the vote can be frauded either way without fixing.

I'm glad to hear from him on this issue. I refuse to blast him when I only have half the story. It seems like he's doing a slow burn. Mr. Meticulous strikes again. He's going at this in his own fashion. That's fine. As long as I see him go after election reform and the other things he's said he wants to fight for, then I will not attack him.

And it seems like he could say anything at this point and be blasted. That's disturbing, esp. if he begins work for reform and no one supports him because they're mad at him. I'm surprised our side still has feet left to shoot. You'd think we'd all be on prostetics by now.

Aim your anger where it belongs, folks.

Meanwhile, I can't wait to see if he's at the Condi hearings and what he has to say there.
