  Very Disappointed!!

  After reading the Rolling Stone article I was hopeful that this issue would get some additional coverage from at least the not-so-mainstream media. I took from the article that there was significant Republican malfeasance that warrants additional investigation. (Remember in New Hampshire Republicans have already plead guilty to such charges.) And the Diebold lock on the election apparatus is a travesty. This is the most dangerous issue the MSM can bury!

  I am very disappointed that the Manjoo article is the only such additional coverage I've found to date. I was annoyed by the original Manjoo articles which suggested we just shut up and take it. Indeed, this is much of the same. If he acknowledged the sad state of our elections while rebutting Kennedy's points I might have some respect. But he doesn't. Again, we're just supposed to shut up, ignore the widely acknowledged Republican chicanery and avoid being called sore losers.

  I was a Salon reader before they went public. I was a Premium member when it first became available. I was happy to have a competent left-leaning news site on the web. (It was actually after the 2004 elections that I swore off CNN altogether. I now get all of my news from the Internet.) I hate to be dramatic but I also view this article as egregious enough to not resubscribe. I just got my renewal letter. I think I'll spend the money on Mark Crispin Miller's book instead.
