    Polls are not elections

    Polls are not elections and we're still a month away. Anything can happen.

    Too, the Republicans are in charge of the vote tallying. I'm hearing stories about people being told they're ineligible to vote or if they show up to vote, they'll be arrested (for child support, among other things).

    A friend of mine received one of the "caging" letters sent in WI wherein the Republicans send an absentee ballot with instructions to mail it to the wrong address, thus insuring the vote will not be counted.

    I am going to be a poll worker. Odds of cheating are small in my area but someone needs to watch the watchmen.

    And to think that people knocked Hillary.

    That worries me.

    'Course, that's just my opinion. I could be wrong.

    I'm just reading this thread now. But great Dennis Miller rant.

    Partial List of Questions for VP Debate

    (from http://jimtreacher.com/archives/001643.html)

    1. Mayor Palin, Barack Obama is a handsome, charismatic demigod. How many boxes of Kleenex will you need after your crushing loss?
    2. Senator Biden, what is your favorite color? And if you have time for a follow-up question: Why?
    3. Mayor, you talk funny and you own a tanning bed. Why haven't you released Trig's birth certificate?
    4. Senator, have you seen those pictures of Obama in his swim trunks? If not, I have them right here.
    5. Mayor, what are the names, ages, and blood types of all 71 members of the Belgian Senate? And why are you unwilling to admit that your inability to instantly produce any and every fact I demand makes you unfit to stand in the way of history?
    6. Senator, you've spoken at length. Could you please continue?
    7. Mayor, which is your preferred method of stifling dissent, banning books or burning them? Since it's both, please explain how you can deny the accusation that you're a fascist, which I am making now
    .

    Isn't it Governor Palin, not Mayor?

    Well, as with most conservative talk show hosts or bloggers, details like that don't really matter...

    Use the Shift key, people! Keyboard manufacturers everywhere are ineffably saddened when you ignore what they made just for you!

    Yet further confirmation that being a successful politician has little to do with integrity or intelligence. :P
