More election conspiracy
Is it wrong, sad, or completely pathetic that I keep waiting to hear news about, "Major voting error! Kerry wins!". I know. I still can't get over it, though. But here's a study done to keep me hoping.

I just need to have my big cry and get over it.

happy anniversary darling. why thank you darling.
It's official: I've been here for just over a year and am a smashing success, mostly because i'm no longer sleeping on anyone's floor. drinks are in order--i'm thinking sometime this weekend, in a bar, probably in manhattan. I hear the two jacqui/es are muling their way through thailand; have they already left? Anyone else jetsetting this weekend? I'll try to plan accordingly, i.e. going out every night just to be safe.
yay for me,
lily

To believe Bush won, you must also believe
1- That the exit polls were WRONG...
2- That Zogby's 5pm election day calls for Kerry winning OH, FL were WRONG. He was exactly RIGHT in his 2000 final poll.
3- That Harris last minute polling for Kerry was WRONG. He was exactly RIGHT in his 2000 final poll.
4- The Incumbent Rule I (that undecideds break for the challenger)was WRONG.
5- The 50% Rule was WRONG (that an incumbent doesn't do better than his final polling)
6- The Approval Rating Rule was WRONG (that an incumbent with less than 50% approval will most likely lose the election)
7- That Greg Palast was WRONG when he said that even before the election, 1 million votes were stolen from Kerry. He was the ONLY reporter to break the fact that 90,000 Florida blacks were disnfranchised in 2000.
8- That it was just a COINCIDENCE that the exit polls were CORRECT where there WAS a PAPER TRAIL and INCORRECT (+5% for Bush) where there was NO PAPER TRAIL.
9- That the surge in new young voters had NO positive effect for Kerry.
10- That Bush BEAT 99-1 mathematical odds in winning the election.
11- That Kerry did WORSE than Gore against an opponent who LOST the support of SCORES of Republican newspapers who were for Bush in 2000.
12- That Bush did better than an 18 national poll average which showed him tied with Kerry at 47. In other words, Bush got 80% of the undecided vote to end up with a 51-48 majority - when ALL professional pollsters agree that the undecided vote ALWAYS goes to the challenger.
13- That Voting machines made by Republicans with no paper trail and with no software publication, which have been proven by thousands of computer scientists to be vulnerable in scores of ways, were NOT tampered with in this election.

Not to drag this out,but....
I keep thinking there is gonna be some corruption scandal to break out, from Ohio, and the Diebold people are gonna fess up to some vote box stuffing, or touch screen hacking, or something. I am pathetic, I know this. But I really believe something fishy went on.
