5. That's a good sign. I only posted this (OP) because I've heard all day on the news...
..how "The People have spoken" and Blah..Blah...

Yeah..Well...We, as a country, have a horrible, lousy record on Electing People to office.

(If we didn't, we would not be trillions in debt, lousy health care...and numerous other "Wrongs" :)

9. Maybe the fault is in the computers --- PLEASE see VOTESCAM . ..
VOTESCAM -- THE STEALING OF AMERICA ---

http://www.constitution.org/vote/votescam__.htm

Jim & Ken Collier were journalists who began looking at the computer steals in the late 1960's . . .
the computers began coming in, evidently, in mid-60's . . .
They wrote a book on it after their investigation --- the book was suppressed ---
they continued to investigate for 26 years ---

You can scan or read the book and check out the story at the website above ---

What it's all about is that we haven't just had steals since 2000 or 2004 ---
This has been going on since the mid-1960's . . .

PLEASE also pass the word along ---

2. Iowa took a bit of a left turn in '06.
Edited on Sat Jan-05-08 12:29 AM by TwilightZone
Dems picked up a bunch of seats in the state legislature and in many local races, and we picked up the governorship. Looks like '06 was the beginning of a trend.

7. And the amazing thing was, I couldn't find anyone who voted for George.
For a year or so, people were almost afraid to bring up his name to complain, as we couldn't figure out who voted for him and who didn't, and even though you wanted so badly to discuss his presidency, you didn't know who you could bitch to that hadn't voted for him. It wasn't until he screwed up so much that everyone was complaining that people would admit they voted for him, but there weren't many of them. So, how did he win Iowa? I always found that strange.

4. Hey! It wasn't me!
I voted for Kerry and I'm in Iowa.

I know...when I saw our state turn red in 04, I turned purple.

6. I'll tell you why Iowa is an interesting state
IA voted 1% more Dem than the rest of the country in 1992, 2% more Dem than the rest of the country in 1996, 1% more Repub in 2000, 2% more Dem in 2004.
That is a true swing state.
