Rove says Florida will be 'ground zero' in next Boosh coup d'etat
Errrr....election, that is.

Rove, in an interview with editors and reporters of The News Herald of Panama City, said the campaign strategy in Florida would be a combination of "brotherly love" - a reference to the president's younger brother, Gov. Jeb Bush - and an effort to "register, identify and turn out our vote."

"This clearly is going to be ground zero," Rove said in the interview, published in Wednesday's editions. Rove has been vacationing in northwest Florida, where he has been making trips for the past 16 years.

Florida, now with 27 electoral votes, decided the 2000 presidential election and is expected to be a battleground state next year.

(bias much? Florida didn't "decide" anything. Katherine Harris and the Scalia Crime Family "decided" the election)

4. start categorizing vote fraud
get out our own vote- and write it off for all practical purposes other than future investigations and indictments. No one is stopping them from stealing Florida six thousand ways to Sunday. MAYBE if the blackbox voting scandal blows up big enough to shut down that part of the circus.
I don't see anyone in Florida OR nationwide doing anything to fix the blatantly crooked race there. The NAACP only wrung a partial concession that proabaly won't restore more than a few thousand votes. Everything else- nanda and the SERVE internet program is going to deliver another batch on experimental overseas ballots to Florida without them having to pay the gas for the cargoe planes this time.

If you NEED Florida you will probably lose although you have to keep them challenged there and exposed. It's a tar baby trap trying to get Dem,s to look stupid by challenging them to try and get payback.

Payback? That's up to the state party to prove and they have a long way to go. Where did Reno vanish to anyway?

3. Fine, let them waste their time and money in Florida
I say let's concentrate on Arizon and New Hampshire, and bury them the "Al Gore" way.
Methinks Rove is looking at polls of Florida and is scared shitless that they are going to lose it.

5. El Ham Sammichimo will find it a tougher nut to crack this time.
Sure, they can steal Florida. But I gotta hope that if they do it AGAIN, maybe there will be some taking to the streets, THIS time.

Grumble,

The Plaid Adder

6. Since I live in Lee County a Republican haven...
I'm afraid if I take to the streets, I'll be run over!
