I think we should all stop to read this
I am not here to promote ABB or to say that we should all drop our candidates now. That said I think we all need to be cognizant of what we're up against. This link is to a good write up about Karl Rove:

http://www.counterpunch.org/madsen1101.html

Here's a snippet I thought was very important. Memorize it, than do what you want:

<snip>
German opposition figures in the mid-1930s often lamented the fact that they could have stopped the rise of the Nazis if only they had been more united in a common front when they had a chance. However, they fell prey to the media manipulation of Goebbels and fought among themselves more than they did against the menace from the far right. We Americans also have an early opportunity to stem an out-of-control and anti-constitutional regime with the Rasputin-like Rove at the after steerage helm of our ship of state. That opportunity presents itself next Tuesday--Election Day.

Peace.

4. Nope - Not Rove
If the drudge story is true, I firmly believe it is internal, Democratic nomination hardball. The Republicans would wait until AFTER Kerry has the nomination. They have nothing to win by bringing down a candidate who has yet to win the nomination. They would wait and bring him down when there is no one left to stop him. This is Democratic politics - if it's true.

6. I disagree
Sowing Fear, Uncertainly and Doubt (FUD) at this point in the race prevents anybody from locking it up, and allows Dean, the media, etc. to do their work for him. Dean is already playing hardball, and if Edwards is serious he has to as well.

Nothing but noise and stink, and a lovely distraction from 1) AWOL 2) WMD and 3)No Jobs.

Hopefully, everyone will be watching the little lawyer twerp on MSNBC (I've apparently blocked him name out of my mind) discussing Kerry's little problem instead of Lou Dobbs documenting the disassembly and theft of out entire economy.
