Was the 2004 election stolen? No.

In Rolling Stone, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. argues that new evidence proves that Bush stole the election. But the evidence he cites isn't new and his argument is filled with distortions and blatant omissions.

I subscribe to Salon...

...because I can get some differing views of the news. I'm glad Salon published Manjoo's article about Kennedy's RS article.

I've a little trouble with "conspiracies", because like another writer who published up the line a few pages, a conspiracy must involve lots of people who can stay quiet.

And, that's very difficult to pull off.

I mean, lots of people in 1963 might have wanted to see John Kennedy dead - Texas oilmen, the Mafia, Castro, LBJ, the CIA, the FBI come to mind - but I still believe that Lee Harvey Oswald - and he alone - got off three lucky shots with his old rifle.

I also believe Kerry - who I worked for and voted for - lost because he ran a lousy campaign and couldn't fend off the Swift Boaters and other dirty campaigning, engineered by Karl Rove.

I also have a little trouble with RFK's objectivity. As with still another writer, I questioned his previous articles on autism. AND, he's still out there, trying to convince the public that Michael Skakal is innocent of the Martha Moxley killing.
