What a gal huh?

She is running the screwiest campaign up here I've seen in a long time.

The radio airways are saturated with what are intended to be negative
ads
about Brown but they miss there mark.

In them the name "Scott Brown" and the word "Republican" is
repeated over and over with obscure references to his campaign stump
speeches or position statements that are not very clear and really don't
register to the listener.

Her name never comes up until the end when in a softer, fast spoken
acknowledgement
of "paid for by the Coakley campaign committee" or something like that.

To the casual radio listener, all that sticks in one's head is "Scott
Brown"
and "Republican".
It will be interesting to see what that recall produces on Tuesday.

Hey, if I bring myself, my wife, my kids, and grandkids, do you think
we could get registered to vote in Massachusetts by ACORN, and then
surprise them with a Republican vote?

Just wondering.

They'll set you up with absentee ballots.

Democrat chad? I often wonder why government has in essnce sabotaged
electronic voting. If done right, it would be far better than the back
door where cards are moved. I often wonder just how democratic hand
counted votes really are.

Say an electronic system that posted the vote real time to 8 different
sources PLUS a paper copy. All 9 should agree. Since all 9 will go to
different groups, univerities, state governments, maybe even CNBC and
Fox... all should agree. If one is out but the other 8 agree, the
corruption is known. They all must announce the tally at teh same time
inside of 5 minutes of poll close.

Makes it much harder to stack the deck and results before bed time. Let
the new age pony, the internet deliver....

Maybe what the government really is scared of is that such a secure
system could in fact be used directly on maters the congress and senate
do today! That is, senate/congress must sell the people on the ideas
and then the people vote directly.

A corruption bill like GM would fall flat on it's ass. So would other
bailout corruptions and debt spend. Removes the lobster dinners and
cash incentives from the representatives. Neuters the back room deal.

Bet many statistical annomolies in even recent election results would
disappear.

Which is why they want flawed, cheap systems that fail. Keep the power
in the back room deals that sell us all out.
