For some reason this is Mr. Manjoo's personal schtick, to tell those of us who are worried about what happened in Ohio not to worry. Everything's okay, he says, over and over. But I for one have lost my trust in his credibility. For almost all the facts he states there are others that can be offered as counter arguments. He sets himself as the final arbiter of the truth by declaring Kennedy's views as an "opinion" and his views as "reality." To which I answer, "Oh really?"
And speaking of reality versus illusion, the far more serious fairy tale folks are telling themselves right now is that every vote counts. The Republican party got away with a coup in 2000. Why wouldn't they try it again? And with the Diebold machine leakier than the levees in New Orleans, what's not to worry about. Unless hey, you'd really prefer a Republican monarchy.
