To Anybody Popping By Here...

Could you please tell me if you ever heard Kerry make any issue of:
1) the Valerie Plame case
2) Halliburton
3) Enron
4) Abu Ghraib
5) intelligence failures before 9/11
6) the hyping of Saddam's WMD by the Bush administration
7) not killing Zarqawi before the war
8) Ahmed Chalabi and his ties to Iran
9) Cheney's secret energy task force group?

And just to clarify, just because I think Kerry ran a bad campaign, didn't mean that Bush was better. Anyone who had to deal with Kerry's shortcomings also had to deal with Bush's massive problems.

Thus, I still think it is very possible that Kerry won, the exit polls were right, and that there was fraud.

And today, listening to Diane Rehm and NPR, the reporters are clearly having to deal with an irate public who suspects the election was stolen, and the reporters don't like it one bit. The reporters of course want to pretedn everything is just fine.

The most annoying aspect was on the Diana Rehm show, which had some nice coverage of the exit poll story, the guests she had were totally cluelesss about issues like the discrepency in the exit polls with states that used electronic voting and the guests were even clueless about the general concept of using paper trails for voting. These guys just seem to live in their own cocoon world. One guest, when a caller asked about the CEO of Diebold promising to deliver Ohio to Bush, said that people just need to deal with the fact that Bush won. Another guest wasn't even aware of the statement. These guys just are not up on the relevant facts. Later in the day, NPR read some viewer mail, and apparently a lot of people have been writing in about vote fraud. It's cool reporters actually have to deal with this stuff, even if they poo-poo it.
