Tin foil hat time! Remember, the flash rom, the internal hard drive, and an internal paper print out.The machine beat them.
The Republicans need poll watchers for November.It will hinge on absentee and provisional votes.

Were you one of those who were talking DOW 35,000?

And this comment has what to do with McBride?

Whatever his background may be, he does not photograph as physically fit, nor well conditioned to Florida's heat. We've seen more of his campaign spots than we've ever wanted to, and for the most part, he looks like a stroke candidate, poor man -- maybe he needs to job alongside WJC; he might look better by comparison.

Mayor "Tax Hike" Penelas

AKA "Closet boy." AKA Alexis Penisless. AKA Fidelito. I couldn't stand that A-swipe nancy boy when I was a Miami-Dade resident.

The sad thing is, many in Dade think he is a Republican.

[Clemenza]

Oh, you MAY be one of those fools (I hope I am wrong) who think Maclawyer is a good ol' boy "Conservative Democrat." He should not be underestimated, but the fact is, like many of us, he let his body go to hell since his youthful "glory days."

"she told McBride ``he was going to be a great governor.''

I guess she means that he was going to be a good governor until he loses the election.

[Rome2000]

More of the demented liberal tax and spend elitist lawyer Tom Rossin, on why every vote should count (except of course, when he's running for office!

STATEMENT OF SENATE DEMOCRATIC LEADER TOM ROSSIN ON FLORIDA SUPREME COURT RULING

"The Florida Supreme Court's ruling today moves us one step closer to what should have happened on Election Day. We have a constitutional obligation to every Florida voter, and to the nation, to count every vote cast in our state.

I share the concern expressed by 37 constitutional scholars that the special session convened today by the Florida Legislature to appoint presidential electors is unlawful, unconstitutional and unprecedented.

The only role for the Florida Legislature has been to serve as an insurance policy for the Bush Campaign in case the courts in fact required a full and accurate count of the votes. This blatantly partisan action by our legislature will create a constitutional crisis where none exists, cause further litigation and needlessly prolong this process.

The map to the finish line is simple. Count the votes."

By running ads against McBride, Bush gave him the boost he needed to win the primary.

You're right. Jeb's campaign made a big mistake by giving name recognition to McBride. Most Rats in South Florida had never heard of him. Reno on the ballot would have given a big boost to every Republican on the ticket in November. That's why the Rat estabishment wanted her to lose.

[OldFriend]

McBride jogs? He looks like he jogs ala bill clinton, straight to the McDonalds's or Dunkin Donuts.

[OldFriend]

The new person in charge said the time was past for a recount no matter how close the vote was in the end. Since this was the preferred outcome there were no complaints.

[ghostrider]

I agree that he looks overweight, but I have known a lot of "jocks" that age like. I bet he can still kick some rear if he gets the urge. Anyone, who compares a US Marine, Bronze Star, combat veteran to that draft dodging Bill Clinton should be ashamed of himself.

[OldFriend]

Poor thing......seek help, immediately!

[Rome2000]

You're right. Jeb's campaign made a big mistake by giving name recognition to McBride.

Thats 100% false.

Bush needed to go negative on McBribe because the idiot Reno wasn't, and the rats would probably steal the nomination from Reno(which they did).

McFatso goes into this election with higher negatives than he would have otherwise, especially among blacks.

Ther teachers unions and others poured millions inot his campaign and saturated the airwaves with his commercials.

They were on way more than Bushs ads.

This means that the DUMS have learned all they need to know about how to DEFEAT these electronic machines. They have the flash ROM cards figured out, will have them DUPLICATED AND READY to put into the "mix" when they are voting for the Real Thing in NOVEMBER!!

If the above isn't exactly right in every detail,IMHO it is VERY close. There was definitely something going on in the background.

Then again,it really doesn't matter. I have yet to hear of a single case of voter fraud being prosecuted from the last election,and there were a couple of arrests. Bubba-2 and Janet Ashcroft flat shut down the voter fraud investigations involving Bubbette!

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

Oh and yes...saw Gore on TV saying if HE had been Gov of Florida he would have fixed this by now. Did ANYONE ELSE SEE HIM?

I saw the Goron's speech in parts (CSPAN). He was absolutely, incredibly, and MASSIVELY boring. Same old same old: I won, I was robbed, etc., etc. I also caught his statement to wit: "If AH was governor of Florida, AH woulda fixed that voting blah, blah, blah. Just like Clinton's BS about working full time to get bin Laden. Pure BS. What insufferable buffoons.

[sneakypete]

Anyone, who compares a US Marine, Bronze Star, combat veteran to that draft dodging Bill Clinton should be ashamed of himself.

Maybe,but THAT particiluar US Marine is the guy who wrote the bill for Jim-mah Carter that gave amnesty to draft dodgers and deserters.

[ghostrider]

Hey! I may not agree with his politics, but he fought for his country, and he earned the right to his political opinions. It is inexcuseable to compare him to that draft dodging coward clinton

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

This means that the DUMS have learned all they need to know about how to DEFEAT these electronic machines.

Good point. From this election, I understand that some votes were not counted because the "send" button wasn't pressed to transfer the votes to the collection center. If there isn' even a safegaurd for THIS, I expect you are right that the system is ripe for massive tampering.

Does anyone know what kind of security and failsafe systems there are in these systems? Is there an algorithm that automatically converts every fourth Republican vote to a vote for the dimo candidate?

[maxwellp]

Is Alex Sink a woman? Are Sink and McBride married? Can we say Sink Sunk McBride?

[goose1]

yea she would have really shaken the place up maybe now she can get a job at sears in the paint dept.

[caltrop]

Florida doesn't have run-offs this year. Normally it does and will resume having them next year.
