Yahoo! News – Postal Experts Hunt for Missing Ballots in Florida Here we go again…and its not even election day.

Amendment 6, if passed, would repeal the high-speed rail amendment voters approved previously. Now how absurd is that. High-speed rail

Amendment 2 changes the way citizen initiatives work and requires citizen initiative petitions to be submitted earlier–indeed, before the Legislature

In one of the most appalling examples of hypocracy I’ve ever seen, Republican officials are saying in a Washington Times article that Democrats are prepared to use lawyers and the court system change the election outcome in 2004.

Voter Outreach of America ? a front group run by Republican operative Nathan Sproul and financed with more than $600,000 from the RNC ? hired Tyrone Mrasek to register voters. The LA Times reports, Mrasek “was given a written script to ask people whether they favored Bush or Sen. John F. Kerry.

New job numbers are out this morning, and they’re more bad news for a president who has already received a truckload of it this week. The economy added about 96,000 new jobs in September. That’s fewer than analysts expected, fewer than what’s needed to keep up with population growth in the job market, and way fewer than what Bush’s own Council of Economic Advisors projected in December.

I read a good summary of the Vice Presidential debate on Salon.com. I agree that mainly Cheney managed to continue throwing out information he knows to be inaccurate, but Edwards seemed more concerned with making his talking points that responding to those false statements. Neither hurt each other’s campaign, but Edwards missed some chances to hit some home runs.
