18. I'm in it for the long haul

I can't see why any reasonable person would think that getting "their candidate" in is more important than fixing the system. First off, there is no way to get Kerry in at this point without proving fraud (or at least gross misconduct). Second, if there has been fraud and you get enough proof to get Kerry in, are you just going to let the creeps who did it off the hook? And if you don't get your proof in time to get Kerry in, are you just going to drop it?

The ONLY rational plan at this point is to forget about the goal they expect (getting Kerry in) and focus on the one they don't: keeping up the pressure as long as it takes to put every single one of them in jail for treason.

This may get Kerry in, it may not. But it's the only way for good to triumph over evil.

P.S. Focusing on getting Kerry in as "the goal" plays right into Rove's "sore loser/get over it" trap. Focusing on the non-partisan voting integrity goal is much harder for him to block. There are all sorts of ways to be against Kerry winning, but how in the heck can you sell being against fair and honest elections?
