If you look at http://cnews.tribune.com/news/image/0,1119,oso-nation-82373,00.html you see the gripe about the Palm Beach ballots. What they dont mention is that, by the same visual-illiteracy that lets Gore votes go to Buchanan, votes for Browne go to Gore. There is far more difference between Browne Gore than between Gore Buchanan. The libs ought to be furious.

I got my degree at Kings College, University of London. Bentham was an atheist and the founder of Utilitarianism. King's was founded by a group of religious Londoners appalled by the thought of godless UC, and even in the late 1970's there was still a distinct rivalry between the two schools. Periodically, students from UC would steal 'Reggie' a lifesize lion statue which was King's mascot, and King's students would kidnap Jeremy's head (which is separated from, but stored with, the rest of his body). Usually, the momentos would be ransomed after a few weeks, with the money going to charity. Peter Trei PS: We covered all this in the list 5-6 years ago.

http://digitalmass.boston.com/news/daily/11/01/minesweeper.html from the article: "Proving the conjecture false would mean that modern encryption technology, the foundation of electronic commerce, would be open to easy attack." Isn't that a little general? Possibly jumping to some hasty conclusions about P versus NP as well? ok, Rush

Um ... this is a good technical argument, but it does not address the basic premise that what the voters wants is what the voters should get. There is no question what the voter wants. They knew ahead of time that they would be voting for a dead man's wife. The appointment may be technically flawed, but for a judge to throw this out would require finding a serious problem. Technicality is probably not a serious enough problem to go against the electorate.

The reasoning was that the deceased are no longer legally citizens > and therefore do not meet the Constitutional requirements for office. Even more significant is that a dead man cannot take the oath of office. If he can't take the oath of office he can't occupy the office. The governor only has the power to replace a senatoratorial position if the current office holder dies. Since Carnahan died before he took office, the office remains unfilled. The governor does not have power to appoint senators willy-nilly. The office must be held before it can be filled. The correct solution would be to hold a special election so that the public has a chance to know who they are voting into office. What the democrats are afraid of is that his wife might be less fit to hold that office than her husband in some democrat's minds (after debates etc). Here is a question? Would it be vote fraud to run one person's name on the ballot and replace him with someone else when he won? jim -- Sometimes it is said that man can not be trusted with the government of himself. Can he, then, be trusted with the government of others? Or have we found angels in the forms of kings to govern him? Let history answer this question. -- Thomas Jefferson, 1st Inaugural
