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, too, would like to see someone else reporting on this issue...

    ...but unfortunately, the MSM doesn' want to touch it. Yet. Of course, they don't want to admit their biased coverage of the past two presidential campaigns, either, and any discussion, or investigation, of the 2004 election might naturally bring up that issue so that they could no longer ignore or deny the shortcomings in their reporting.

    As for Salon's coverage, Manjoo made up his mind a long time ago, but still there are a number of prominent people, including even a few in the media, and in Congress, who are not convinced as he is that the anomalies were all just a wash. Perhaps Farhad is merely tring to rationalize a third-party (or even a GOP) vote?

    And so... I quit looking to Salon for objective reporting on this issue some time ago.

    The mere fact of not having enough voting machines in Democratic precincts, yet no waiting lines in Republican ones, should by itself be very telling.

    And who can forget that Diebold's chief-- in Ohio, no less!-- promised to deliver the election to Bush?

    In this case, a conspiracy would not have had to involve very many people, just a mere handful.
