I'm not saying they're controlling this election, but I give them a lot of credit for being manipulative, and I don't think anyone can doubt that they still run the Democratic Party. John Kerry sure as heck doesn't. Look, Kerry wants to win and is running to win, but in a close election, it doesn't take much to tip it one way or the other. Remember 2000. If it wasn't for Nader's lousy 1 or 2 percent in a couple of places, Al Gore would have won. So it won't take too much subtle sabotage, such as releasing some records, or a little pressure on their media friends, to do an effective job of sabotage on Kerry.
The question to me is not whether they're capable of doing it, but whether they want to.
Wait a sec, Buchanan had those marvelous 4 thousand senior citizen votes in Palm Beach county, enough to swing the election to Bush even with all the rest of the chad cheating and denial of military votes. Hilarious. You couldn't make this stuff up!
