Actually, Grey Davis losing is not as important. But it would be a nice layer of icing on the cake.

President Bush has gone to bed. If he went to bed, you know that it's in the bag. Sleep easy. Daschle and McAuliffe won't......

Fritz Mondale and Grey Davis going down the Dashole tube next

Let's not get obscene....Mondale, and Davis are getting shot out of the Dashole...... which we can all politely agree has become a rather large opening tonight.

I've already heard that dimwit Patty Murray moaning about the evil Republicans now being able to advance their extremist agenda. I wish the people of Washington would give her the boot next time. What a moron she is.

[GretchenEE]

Sen. Patty Murray rehearsed her talking points word for word, as you noted in your post, when she was 'splainin' to Brokaw what broke.

Isn't it fascinating that in the corrupt and back-assward state of New Jersey they can count practically all the ballots in half the time it takes South Dakotans to count a few thousand?? Are they waiting for the votes to thaw first?

If anybody could use some modernized voting system, it should be these guys...

[Future Useless Eater]

Looks like FRAUD IS OCCURRING IN SHANNON COUNTY!
That county is going 90% for Johnson, PLUS They still held back 4 precincts because they don't quite know how many more votes they 'NEED' in order to win...

'Clearly Signed by the Same Person'

The Wall Street Journal reports a Shannon County election clerk received a high number of new voter registrations, many "clearly signed by the same person" and some hailing from Nebraska. Bret Healy, the executive director of the South Dakota Democratic Party, has said he notified the U.S. attorney about the fraud and subsequently fired contractor Becky Red Earth-Villeda after she allegedly submitted invalid voter registrations.
