Coming up on Keith: Rove has his own electoral map
that shows the GOP retaining both the House and the Senate.

4. sorry
touch screen voting machines. What I have to vote on. :cry:.......

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DRE_voting_machine



<snip>

A direct-recording electronic (DRE) voting machine records votes by means of a ballot display provided with mechanical or electro-optical components that can be activated by the voter; that processes data by means of a computer program; and that records voting data and ballot images in memory components. It produces a tabulation of the voting data stored in a removable memory component and as printed copy. The system may also provide a means for transmitting individual ballots or vote totals to a central location for consolidating and reporting results from precincts at the central location.

In 2004, 28.9% of the registered voters in the United States used some type of direct recording electronic voting system , up from 7.7% in 1996.

6. I think the psychology is that a mob will follow where they think the rest
of the mob is going. A certain percentage don't really think so much as they just follow. So Rove has "secret numbers" that show everybody isn't running to the Dems...

Yeah right!
