i'm agnostic if the question is if i think it would have changed the 2004 outcome.

AND i think that's a failure of our system.  we need to be able to have more (realistic) faith in the system.

i think it was wrong to ban people over this.... but, not my call - not my site... and i may be missing key data which would make me more sympathetic to the banning....

bottom line - i'm glad to see people like RFK Jr. and Tom Vilsack discussing it openly.  shouldn't be the case, but they've done alot to make it an "acceptable" topic of discussion.  so i say, good for them.

now, what are we going to do about it?

for 2006 we've got to work our asses off to have overwelming numbers on our side to make it REALLY hard to steal (if that is what could happen).

for 2008 we need to organize non-partisan exit polling.... and do what we can to make the election officials a non-partisan position.
