About the European observers, I'm not sure about what happened there, actually there's been an eery silence about them. So I can't comment. But perhaps they were intimidated, I don't really know. That's something hopefully someone will uncover. Thank god for whistleblowers! "Also though, I'm glad if Democrats were being kept from the polls after everything the Democrats did to try to keep 3rd parties out of the election, democratic my ass." I started to agree with that, then realized it wasn't democratic voters who kept 3rd parties out, it was the democratic establishment. In these sick times, it's not dems vs. repubs, but dems/repubs vs. the common man. It's a war on the average joe. thankfully I voted for Nader...again. It's the 2-party system, stupid! (not calling you stupid, just using the popular phrase)
