CEO lobbies for Bush while seeking contract to sell voting machines
{Associated Press}
CLEVELAND - A wealthy businessman helping the Ohio Republican Party try to win the state in 2004 for President Bush also is the head of a company competing for a state contract to sell voting machines.

Walden O'Dell, chief executive of Diebold Inc., told Republicans in an Aug. 14 fund-raising letter that he is ``committed to helping Ohio deliver its electoral votes to the president next year.''

2. Not Florida.. I say Ohio, Michigan Minnesota,New Mexico,Wisconsin
Everyone will be focused on Florida, so the "polls" will be kept "close" in those other states, and abracadabra..Bush "wins" those other state in a close race,and Kerry gets Florida..

Bush still gets in :(

I think the meltdown will happen in California, esp if the 'unusual' poll numbers continue to show a tight race there closer to the election.

RTP

Edit - spelling.

5. Missouri
Matt Blunt, who is in luuuuuuv with the shrub, is really trying to stick it to voters here. He also happens to be the current Secretary of State, is running for gov, and head of the BC04 campaign for MO.

Can anyone say "conflict of interest"?

6. you can be sure they'll pull out the stops in Texas
to ensure that the "new" districts actually do turn out to be republican. I live in a district that is one mile wide in places and fourteen miles long and zigzags through neighborhoods splitting even my street in half.
