20. I'm curious...
How often do you use the word "whores" to describe men in politics who might be on the take?

Something to notice...

6. White conservative women love Diebold.
Don't know if they are conservative, just venturing a guess.

9. Georgians: Can you enlighten me on Cathy Cox, please?
Is she still a democrat? Is she running for governor? Is she aligned with the repukes in handicapping democratic voters? How is currently viewed amongst democrats?

"2. A few years back (this predates 2002) she wanted to switch her party to Republican, but ended up staying Democrat."

16. Does not predate 2002 - 12/2004
Story last updated at 1:37 AM on Dec. 12, 2004

Some leading Republicans have a surefire answer. Induce Secretary of State Cox to forget her Democratic rescue mission and join the GOP. She has not quite rebuffed their advances.

Here is the deal they have proffered:

* Cox would switch to the Republican Party and immediately announce for lieutenant governor in 2006. She would run to succeed Democrat Mark Taylor, presently a wide-open candidate for governor against Perdue.

* In exchange for switching, Cox would be richly rewarded. Top-rung Republicans would discourage other GOP members from entering the lieutenant governor's fray.

snip....

We called Cox to see how thrilled she is at the invitation to switch parties and move up the electoral ladder.

On the phone, she didn't sound as jubilant as we expected. She confirmed that Republicans had offered the above-described arrangement. And, yes, she has a number of Republican friends who like the idea of her switching. She mentioned GOP state Chairman Alex Poitevint, who lives in Bainbridge, Cox's hometown. No, she would not confirm whether high-powered lobbyist Joe Tanner had acted as a go-between.

She also mentioned that her cell phone connection was fading. She said she'd talk to me later. She wanted to think.

14. Are they receiving funds from Diebold or just
doing this out of the kindness of their hearts, because they like to look biased?

So, let's assume they're doing it for reason, like, say, money?

Would that money be on the books where they can get nailed for it?

Or, would they hide in deal ala CA Congressman Cunnighan's real estate deal?

Connect the dots and then show the turkey picture to the people!

17. Umm...let's see. First, Conny and Cathy are both in bed with Diebold.
Second, they are all lying thru their teeth. Third, it's a conflict of interest for election officials to be promoting a private corporation selling election equipment. I'm sure i could think of a lot more if I had more time.

26. Conny is more in bed than you think
I mean literally. I have seen Conny and Radke kissing in the corner at a conference. Don't worry about her hubby as his hand was in the lap of some other county official as well. Must be one of those "open" marriages. Too bad her elections are not as open.

27. Seriously crappy ads - variability in photo quality on one page
is disgusting. Are they trying to illustrate that average women who have lousy pictures taken of them like Diebold?
