Zogby site article on voter fraud potential

I couldn't seem to find this posted yet, but sorry if it is a dupe....


I Smell a Rat

I smell a rat. It has that distinctive and all-too-familiar odor of the species Republicanus floridius. We got a nasty bite from this pest four years ago and never quite recovered. Symptoms of a long-term infection are becoming distressingly apparent.

The first sign of the rat was on election night. The jubilation of early exit polling had given way to rising anxiety as states fell one by one to the Red Tide. It was getting late in the smoky cellar of a Prague sports bar where a crowd of expats had gathered. We had been hoping to go home to bed early, confident of victory. Those hopes had evaporated in a flurry of early precinct reports from Florida and Ohio.

By 3 AM, conversation had died and we were grimly sipping beers and watching as those two key states seemed to be slipping further and further to crimson. Suddenly, a friend who had left two hours earlier rushed in and handed us a printout.

"Zogby's calling it for Kerry." He smacked the sheet decisively. "Definitely. He's got both Florida and Ohio in the Kerry column. Kerry only needs one." Satisfied, we went to bed, confident we would wake with the world a better place. Victory was at hand.

Good reminder for those of us that might not visit the front page all that often though.

It seems we can all be up in arms about the election being fraudulent and unfair, and how did we let the repubs get away with this again, but WHAT DO WE DO ABOUT IT? I appreciate this forum to vent and get interesting info -- have been reading comments for a while though haven't posted before -- but what can we do besides talking about it here? I've been feeling like I need a goodold-fashioned march to protest this election, but the Zogby article just gave me more fuel for the fire. How can we get mainstream media to talk about this? To demand a recount? A recall? I don't have the answers, but I'm wondering if someone does.....as much as the talking is nice, I feel like we need to take some definitive action, or they'll just continue to steal elections, and make the majority of americans -- including elected democrats -- too afraid to protest. So what now?
And just to add -- I,too, have that White Stripes song stuck in my head now.

and I am afraid that is our biggest problem.

heard. May leaders are talking about it. Nader, Cobb Kucinich, congressmen etc. Trouble is the media will not air their complaints rigorously.

and people who will be listened to. the media is not giving any air to the story, i agree, but most people think nader is a bit of a weirdo to start with. (not necessarily me, but many i know).
