The only doubts about Ohio are not coming from people who actually live and vote in Ohio.

They're coming from people who aren't even involved in our election process and those people can kiss my butt.

The citizens' lobby group Common Cause received 210,000 phone calls to a hot line that logged complaints.

My ASS!!! A quick look at their web site:

In its early years, Common Cause was a leader in passing landmark campaign finance reforms, including a 1974 law establishing public financing for presidential campaigns, setting limits on contributions to all federal candidates and requiring disclosure of campaign contributions and expenditures. Common Cause has also led efforts to end secrecy in government through passage of freedom of information, open meetings, and other "sunshine laws;" establish tough ethics standards for elected officials; enact strict lobbyist disclosure requirements and limit the practice of elected officials accepting lavish gifts from special interests. Common Cause worked with other advocates in Congress to end funding for the Vietnam War, cut funding for expensive weapons systems, and shape outcomes on important civil rights issues.

1987 - Works with civil rights groups to successfully oppose the nomination of Robert Bork to the U.S. Supreme Court.

1995 - Works with civil rights and voting rights groups to pass the Motor Voter Act, easing registration barriers for voters.

2002 - Leads successful multi-year campaign to enact the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act, banning soft money in federal campaigns. In 2003, in a landmark decision, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the law

I'd be embarassed by this record of fraud and deceit...
