[Miss Marple]

According to conventional wisdom, this type of dirt thrown in at the last minute supposedly sways an election.

I have another theory: it is to provide cover for vote fraud, by providing an excuse for a mysterious drop in votes for a candidate who was expected to win. (See the George Bush DUI as Example Number One.)

I think the Rats are going to try to rig the election, and this story give them an excuse for a drop in Arnold's numbers. They will switch votes to McClintock in just the same way they tried to claim Buchanan votes for Gore in Florida.

If I were in California, I would darn sure have poll watchers everywhere I could.

I think it says alot about the Dems in KA and how they think the voters are absolute fricken morons with no clue. Come on, it's in Hollyweird where some people really, really do sleep their way to the top or even the next movie. Do Davis and Busty not know this? The rest of the free world does.

I'm inclined to agree with you that it's more about rigging the vote than actually swaying voters.
