Don't you see the problem: He's in charge of counting the votes, and gloats about "delivering" Ohio? Also he's asking for illegal money. Don't you Republicans have ANY ethics?
I assume you were equally outraged in 2000 when partisan elected democrats were actually sitting in the room attempting to extrapolate "voter intent" from all the pregnant and hanging chads in Broward, Palm, and Miami-Dade...?
Bush is astonishingly popular among Republicans, about 50/50 among independants, and pretty much hated by Democrats.
Blackwell, a Republican, is trying to get a cozy as possible with Bush as he runs for a GOP nomination...
I suspect every Democrat looking for a 2006 Ohio nomination will no doubt declare the election a fraud...
Neither of these things is exactly a surprise..
