where the theft of the election has to be proven beyond a shadow of a doubt. Nobody's trying to put John Kerry in the White House this summer. The stolen election CAN'T be proven beyond a shadow of a doubt. There will never be a smoking gun with this story. But that doesn't mean a crime wasn't committed!
We have to look at the preponderance of the evidence, factor in that you have an extremely motivated group of suspects who have the means, access, and a history of ethically scandalous behavior... I'm not sure what else you need to be fairly sure that something awful went down in Ohio and other states as well. What is it about Karl Rove, Kenneth Blackwell, et al. that makes anyone think that they wouldn't do everything in their power--legal and illegal--to ensure Bush's victory? If nothing else, they were motivated to keep themselves out of jail!
Manjoo and other doubters remind me of the defiant OJ Simpson jurors who claimed that the prosecutors never proved his guilt to their satisfaction: maybe so, but that doesn't mean OJ didn't commit the crime.
Remember people: It's not illegal if the president does it and God told him to.
