Hellpopic Political Coda ADDENDUM

BTW, Kerry's camp committed several very costly mistakes: his wife
questioned whether Laura Bush had ever had a "real job", not knowing
that she'd been a teacher for some time, thus giving Laura the
opportunity to say "No apology necessary". That was one or two
percentage points to Bush. Then Osama opened his urbanely threatening
mouth, only insulted Bush by name (not any other candidates) and handed
the RNC another couple of points.
Throw in Michael Moore, who promotes pictures of a guy picking his nose
as a convincing philosophical counterargument and there goes the
election.
Things to do for the DNC:
* Find another Bill Clinton (practical centrist who knows how to cut
deals)
* Denounce name-calling-as-argument strategies (Moore, Parker/Stone,
etc.)
* Stress the Social Security thing
* Downplay welfare and stress "safety net"
* Don't consider Dean or Hillary for '08 (too far from center)
- and maybe they've got a chance in the next contest.
Also consider this remark from
http://www.electoral-vote.com:
"One thing that is very strange is how much the exit
polls differed from the final results, [link:

especially in Ohio. Remember that Ohio uses Diebold
voting machines in many areas. These machines have no
paper trail. Early in the campaign, Diebold CEO Walden
O'Dell, a GOP fundraiser, promised to deliver Ohio to
Bush [link:
http://www.commondreams.org/headlines03/0828-08.htm].
He later regretted having said that."
In a tight race all one has to do is switch every 50th
vote for your opponent and voila! - a "last minute
surge." And now with no paper trail, we'll have none
of those pesky "hanging chads" to worry about. The perfect
crime!
Now we can all "let the healing begin" (to steal a
phrase from Kerry's gracious concession speech).
Nah, I think we're going to feel increasingly RAW, with added salt.
All in all, I think this thing was in the bag the
moment Kerry gave that idiotic "Bring it on!" speech
when he locked up the nomination... and to think people voted for him in
the primaries because they thought he was electable.
I mean, how the fuck does Bush take Ohio when Ohio has lost a million
jobs since 2000? I smell fish, heh heh...

Yes indeedy.
On another group I proposed a plan to do something similar and was
hammered mercilessly by supporters of the Freakshow Junta. It involved
spawning randomly salted vote totals from each machine and using the
following criteria:
1) As much as possible, stay away from locations where the race is not
expected to be close. Close boxes are easier to bend.
2) The new overall "improved" aggregate total should appear as random as
possible. As a result, some individual boxes will actually be shifted
slightly away from your candidate's favor. This adds to the appearance
of legitimacy.

The last I heard there were hordes of students
lined up waiting to vote in Ohio EVEN AFTER
THE POLLS WERE CLOSED and they had senior citizen volunteers running around
with paper &
pencil ballots or some similar rigged up shit --
say, 10pm last night, the 2nd.
Yeah sure, "every vote counts" except for all
those and the absentee ballots and the other
fuckin' ballots and bollox boxes.
I'm gonna look up that O'Dell guy at
disinfopedia.
