30. Went to a MoveOn House party last night...
And was rather surprised to find that at least HALF -- maybe more -- of the attendees firmly believed that there was fraud and that was the only thing we should be talking about right now. And EVERYONE -- not just at our party but nationally -- believed that Election Reform should be a major goal for MoveOn. The MoveOn moderators (the parties participated with MoveOn via the internet) seemed taken aback. The Mod I heard wouldn't mention the F word, but said something to the effect of, "well, certainly, long lines, disenfranchisement, blah blah blah..."

And people at the party I was at (none of whom I'd met before, incidentally, so we're not talking about my tinfoil pals) said, "No, COUNT the votes, that's the issue!"

The people are going to push and push and push on this one, even if the media and the big names are reluctant to call it out.
