1. I missed the intro
but I'm assuming he's still hard-at-work on the election extra-plus-snafu.

Right now they're talking about how bad Thanksgiving travel weather is nationwide.

Glad I'm not out in it.

2. Next up is a piece on the election in Ukraine. How ironic that
the U.S. is on the side of the protesters. Are we hypocrites or what?

3. "Colin Powell says that the exit polls were correct"
(inexact quote)

Dear Keith, It is called "Ukraine", not "the Ukraine" :)

16. I expected him to be a touch more snarky
about the fact that the exit polls showed one thing in Ukraine, but they got another result. AHEM, like here in the good ole U.S. of A.

However, he did use the exit poll snafu here to lead into the Ukraine story. I'm hoping Americans watching this story got the inference.

11. Ukraine
Well, of course they're rioting -- THEIR CANDIDATE is making the accusations of vote fraud and abuse.

If Kerry stood up on his hind legs and alleged vote fraud, I bet we'd be in the streets too.

24. I have to agree.
Sorry if people here think I'm a freep disruptor, but John Kerry's concession stopped the coming protest in our country. Yes, we're trying to do it on our own, but his absence lessened our chances of success.

If you've seen any wildlife documentary, you know that the death or absence of the leader throws any group into disharmony. That's what happened here. It takes time for a new leader to arise...time that we don't have.

I've given money and time to this cause--a lot of both. If you still think Kerry will put on a Superman suit and save the day, I envy your ability to think wishfully. It isn't going to happen. If it does, I'll be happy to apologize. Hell, I'll bow before the almighty Kerry and lick his shoes.

In my mind, the recount effort stopped being about John Kerry a long time ago. Now it's about justice and the hope that our votes will be counted correctly in the future. John Kerry--if he has deserted us--does not have the necessary fortitude to stand up to the Republicans. Our descent would only be slowed slightly by a Kerry presidency.

23. Email to the famous
Sent following email to MSNBC for their good work:

Dear Keith 0:

Some stories are hard to tell but it about time some real reporting come out of the Iraq War.
Thank you Kevin Sites for the courage to be real in your reporting the news. By the way loved your letter to the people, honest and sincere, it was your responibility, he was a human being too.

Amy, thank you for being out there and informed, out spoken in your views, and being a strong example for the rest of us women to live up to. Keep those great reports coming, story before beauty.

Keith, thank you for your covering the story with the eye of seeking the truth behind the door. That is what journalism is about right ?? You are what folk heros are created from, the bloggers just love you. You are fighting for the under dog and you are brave to do so.

Zogby exit polls have up to this point been right on and I will continue to believe they are today. I do agree that we need to get to the bottom of elections problems. No faith in this system is why many Americans do not even vote. I am glad to see that there are some braves souls who are willing to put on those boxer gloves and punch it out, whether it be black & blue or red/white/blue.

25. I sent this to Keith las night, looks like he followed up - Thanks
Sub: Why Keith, why? - election was not stolen, but was it controlled?

Keith,

Why haven't you or someone else talked seriously about the HORRIBLE obvious fraud in Volusia? I mean that is so obviously fraud. I am a computer scientists and if you have "network drives" on your computer as Volusia does (from Blackboxvoting.org), that means that the central tabulating computer was hooked up to other computers.

THAT'S RIGHT! Not just a phone call to the modem there, but a constant communication between that computer and other computers. THAT IS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE THERE. Ok, that in itself doesn't "prove" anything, right. (not to mention the whole trash thing and gross vote changes)

I think the thing that everyone is forgetting here is that this isn't some civil suit or criminal trial.

YOU CAN'T CORRUPT THE JURY BY GIVING THEM MORE INFORMATION.

You can use a reasonable mind, look at what has happened in Volusia and know that they fixed at least some of the precincts. It doesn't take a computer scientist to know that.

By the way, when someone brings a charge against the government, they are guilty until proven innocent. THAT IS THE BIG DIFFERENCE HERE. THEY ARE NOT A SINGLE PERSON OR CORPORATION WITH THOSE KINDS OF RIGHTS. THEY MUST ANSWER TO US.

If the election was stolen this one time, boo hoo, I will cry to my wife and in a week or two I will just keep fighting for what I believe in...

BUT IF THIS ELECTION WAS CONTROLLED, THAT IS SOMETHING ENTIRELY DIFFERENT. I THINK IT WAS UNDER SOMEONE'S CONTROLL. THIS OLD LADY FROM VOLUSIA DIDN'T THINK THIS UP HERSELF. ALSO, IF THE VOTES IN VOLUSIA CHANGE TO KERRY VOTES, THAT WILL MAKE MOST OF THE OTHER COUNTIES LOOK LIKE THEY SWUNG EVEN WAY MORE TO BUSH THAN THEY SHOULD HAVE.

America cannot afford to have controlled elections. In governmental terms, we would be a dictatorship with revolving dictators and we might already be that. I am scared Keith.

Love ya Keith,
