The FEC is in charge of regulating elections, so I don't think the FBI is the appropriate agency.

You know, I have mixed feelings about this.
On the one hand, I'd be glad to see Gunga Dan in striped pajamas.

But this close to the election, I can hear the claims of "media intimidation" and how "Bush stole the election again" for years.

What I want most is a clear convincing victory to open up a big barrel of STFU all over the Ratheroids.

This is great news - we can stop talking about it now until the FEC issues its report. In or about, oh say, 2007.

The Old Media and DNC have been working hand in glove for years. In order to break up the incestuous relationship and then bust ie. the Teachers Union, the Old Media must be purged of it's Liberal (Communist/Socialist) activists.

There must always be a beginning, and it looks like it has begun.

If something isn't done now the story will get buried. The MSM wants this all to go away. The DNC & MSM forced Ginsberg to resign when he did nothing. I don't hear the same call for anyone in the DNC to resign. The pressure has to be kept up.

If this can be directly linked b/w the Ketchup Boy camp and See BS, then Ashcroft and the FBI should be on this like white on rice. They're likely already looking into it right now, but we're not going to hear anything till after the election.

It took 2 years for Watergate to bring Nixon down, and as big as this is, the Feds will be thorough and going strictly by the book.

Agreed. As appropriate as it may be the greater good may be served by letting the lepher colony tear into one another making excuses before the undecideds.

I seem to recall Lawrence Walsh coming out with an indictment of Cap Weinberger mere days before the Clinton/Bush-41 contest. By all accounts, it helped swing the election to Clinton. Now that conservatives seem to be finding their voice in the "New Media," I don't know how long charges of "media intimidation" would stand. Besides, as a great American once observed: Justice delayed is justice denied.

Dittoes on the big barrel of STFU.

"The FEC is in charge of regulating elections, so I don't think the FBI is the appropriate agency."

Someone on Paula Zahn yesterday said that the FEC is run by anarchists....if that's true...good luck getting the FEC to do anything...

You're right of course, but it's also likely true that we'll be hearing that anyway.

The problem with the FEC is they try to avoid appearing partisan. So I don't have much hope that they will actually do anything prior to the election.

We need subpoena power. The FEC does not have it. This became a state and federal crime when the document was forged. Violation of the law. Justice is required. Someone has to be held responsible in accordance to the law.

I'd also like to have someone address the coincidence involving moveon.org's dispicable commercial featuring the American Soldier sinking in the sand coinciding with the Kerry campaign's focus on bashing Bush on the war in Iraq.

If I'm not mistaken, I believe they came out on the same day, as well. I don't know how to confirm for sure, but it was very, very, close.

It seems like the FEC is rather 'toothless' when it comes to enforcement but maybe we can get them to gum Rather and the Kerry campaign REAL hard.

'bout time someone started some action to bring this into the legal arena. Hopefully this will not fade into obscurity like the pilfered documents in the pants fiasco.
