3. yeah! We're all gearing up for a new day without King Gorge & Dickhead. They will
spend the rest of their days in court fighting lawsuits, and hopefully in jail.

5. Not if they stay in office...
With all the shit they have done over the last 7 years (sooooooooooooo many crimes) they know their only hope is to stay in, they are exploring ALL avenues to do just that I think.

10. You wish.
They will retire to Crawford for a while and then when too many people start snooping around, they'll head for Paraguay. They won't spend a minute in court, jail, or even worrying about it.

7. "Attorneys fan out when problems arise"
jumpy people with firearms would be more effective, IMO. A group of such people in Dade county in December 2000 might have spared us 8 years of misery.

11. "Early voter turnout has officials optimistic"
http://www.pantagraph.com/articles/2008/02/05/news/doc47a7db13783cf407764167.txt

County officials had predicted between 25 and 45 percent turnout for Super Tuesday, but some were seeing early numbers and boosting their expectations.

“It would be wonderful for us to get a 40 to 50 percent turnout,” said Char Stanford, executive director of the Bloomington Election Commission, at about 10:30 a.m today. She previously said she expected only the typical 30 percent turnout.
