Now that Right is attacking Voinovich, what's the chances he'll speak out

[sabra]

about all the crap that happened in Ohio during the 2004 elections?

1. You know it wouldn't suprise me

That guy always seemed to me like a stand up person (okay, maybe not always) and wouldn't be suprised if he gets uber pissed at what they are doing to him.

2. Slim and none....

And he will vote for Bolton confirmation if it comes up.

[Junkdrawer]

4. The case against Bolton was so devastating that Senate Republicans..

had to stall it for a while. Voinovich was probably chosen because he was just reelected and so will have six years before he has to face the consequences.

[desi]

5. Exactly...

He is safe and his political days may be coming to an end anyway. He's been fooling us Buckeyes for many, many years. Well at least some of us anyway..

[LatePeriduct]

3. Never can tell....

If thousands of people email him and others like Clifford Arnebeck get a hold of him, he may be willing to come forward with vital information.

I don't think Voinovich knew too much about the Ohio fraud other than miscalibration of the punch card machines.....More likely, he simply oversaw things and watched what Blackwell and the Board of Elections were doing.

6. Please...

[sabra]

7. Care to elaborate?

[LatePeriduct]

8. Bandwagon's already begun.

He's being smeared by red blooded fascists, so in all probability he may put up a fight and as Senator and Former Governor, he is very familiar and close to the fraud of Ohio.

He knows every dirty trick that was used and more than likely everything about triad mis-programming, and whoever gave the orders for the butterfly ballot.

It would always prove interesting if the activists like Alliance of Democracy, could get his submitted testimony. I'm not so sure he really likes Blackwell.

I think if he had a choice, being a more twisted but logical strategist, he would see Blackwell go down before his friend Mike DeWine or himself.

9. I wouldn't mind him letting Blackwell taking the fall....

[LatePeriduct]

10. Nobody would....

Blackwell's one of the worst morons we have ever had to put into elected office....If he got there legally.

Blackwell already cleaned house by firing everybody he played the cover up game with during the election and apparently doesn't think anyone would come after him.

[Botany]

11. No chance .....

..... He knows it was dirty and helped give political cover on 1/6/05.
He is owned by big coal. Watch him fight against any clean bill.

12. Nil.

He didn't say a peep about Bush tying up the air traffic in Ohio, despite nearly costing a pilot his license by forcing him to take off while Clinton was still in Cleveland.

Standard procedure is that the airspace is restricted.

Voinie "just had to be in Columbus" - a two hour drive - important business.

After being found out, he tried to get the taxpayers to pay his legal bills over this.

And his (deceased) brother Paul had some illegal dealings. But hey, he's a Repuke (slightly lite), so it's okay.

13. I'd say the chances are just about zero.

14. And be suicided? NO CHANCE.

The RNC is worse than the mafia.
