2. But now it's disseminating to a wider audience

We don't read that hi-falutin' New York Times up here, so there will be people in Minnesota seeing this for the first time. And the Pioneer Press is the Republican Twin Cities paper.

3. OHHHH Goodness...

"Inviting Bush supporters to a fund-raiser, the host wrote, "I am committed to helping Ohio deliver its electoral votes to the president next year." No surprise there. But Walden O'Dell — who says that he wasn't talking about his business operations — happens to be the chief executive of Diebold Inc., whose touch-screen voting machines are in increasingly widespread use across the United States." :freak:

4. it should and people should be screaming in the streets for reform!

I was amazed at how quietly we all rolled over and went "OK" when Chimpy and Co. stole the White House...
And now I'm pissed and will do whatever I can to ensure that it won't happen again!

"rob.Georgia?" gee, they don't get much more blatant than that, do they??

5. Hmmm, I have to say that the "rob.Georgia"

innuendo by Krugman was one of the weak points of his paper. He put it there to induce this reaction in people. It is clear, and has been for months (and Krugman knows it), that the rob.Georgia file was not about robbing Georgia. It was a file left on the server for Rob, one of the Diebold employees. He turned out to be a really good guy who provided valuable info about how Diebold operates. I can provide links, but it would be easier for you guys to go to blackboxvoting.org or blackboxvoting.com and download the book where this and many other issues are documented in excruciating detail.
Thanks. -CV
