Lori, you said almost everything I wanted to say, and beautifully, so I won't reiterate it.
Anyone who could look at the evidence presented by Kennedy and claim that there's nothing whatsoever to investigate is unworthy of a Salon byline, as far as I'm concerned. Or is this Salon's "official" opinion, that anyone who doesn't think the 2004 election was just fine and dandy is talking through his or her little propellor beanie?
But here's the passage that really made my jaw hit the wrist pad:
Listen to the chairman of the board of Franklin's election office, an African-American man named William Anthony, who also headed the county's Democratic Party. As I first pointed out in my review of "Fooled Again," any effort to deliberately skew the vote toward Bush in Franklin would have had to involve Anthony -- and he has rejected the charge that he'd do such a thing. "I am a black man. Why would I sit there and disenfranchise voters in my own community?" Anthony told the Columbus Dispatch. "I've fought my whole life for people's right to vote."
Um, what color is Kenneth Blackwell again?
