73. More to the point
Walt is likely right in that is exactly how the Senators perceive the situation as evidenced by Leahy and Nelson and others. It is not about persuading Walt but the Senators. Even PROOF of fraud will not do that unless the public is already there(which the media has been allowed to stifle as even a discussion) and Kerry can demonstrably win. the catch is the fraud has rendered the Kerry victory invisible and no one can put a clear face on massive fraud to get the Dems to relinquish their myth of the ballot number contest.

In fact the Dems have been stifling dissent as well as going along with this result with few and cautioned exceptions.

I think if the Dem Senatorial wisdom is the best that good people can come up with then the human race is not worth a bucket of spit, but it looks to to be heading Walt's way. It doesn't mean it is right or effective, but that will soon be coulda shoulda been scenarios of speculation. The precedent of this "wisdom" after 2000 was not encouraging in the slightest so that will leave idealists free to rant with perfect justification when things go bad these next four years of extreme peril.

This is the second post of Walt's I am responding to, but seriously I am not stalking. He is stepping on a lot of toes by taking what he gets right maybe a tad too far.
