October Surprise

John McCain just doesn't know what's going on.

For starters, we haven't heard much about any potential vote fraud/diebold controversy yet? This is really the only period of the year where anyone would care, unless of course you're a Democrat and you just wait to be cheated out of the whole mess before you say anything at all. Still, very little news about these topics, despite the massive slew of ireporters scattered across the country. In a year of annoying transparency and political nitpicking (rezko, 7 houses, jermiah wright, skin cancer, whose baby is it), the voting public has heard little in the way of which states are demanding paper ballots, what type of precincts are electronic voting machines most likely to be found, and the political affiliation of Sec. of States in swing states (e.g. Katherine Harris of Florida in 2000, and Ken Blackwell of Ohio in 2004).

The only conclusion I've been able to come to is that John McCain does not plan on cheating in this election. What a ridiculous decision. It's thus clear that McCain lacks the bold, unclouded judgment needed to lead our country into the next decade. At least he can rely on the decided advantage of having chosen public financing for this election cycle. Oh wait...
