"Since the presidential election, there have been hundreds, perhaps thousands, of stories on the Internet (and even a few in the mainstream news media) about voter fraud and how easily the 2004 presidential election could have been rigged by the Bush Administration and their corporate allies, Diebold and ES & S, the companies in charge of counting a majority of all the votes in American today. What isn't being discussed, however, is the Democratic Party's complicity in this year's presidential election farce."-from "How Democrats Enabled Republicans To Steal the 2004 Presidential Election," in Online Review. "With Republican allies of President Bush controlling all three branches of the federal government, Progressives need a new game plan for 2005-2006. Right now there's no way for Progressives to set the political agenda in the nation's capital, but they can do it at the state level -- as the Republicans did with anti-gay-marriage propositions on ballots in 11 states this year."-from "Progressives Must Take the Initiative" in '05-'06" on Common Dreams. Update: "You can’t get two Democrats together these days without a debate breaking out over what needs to be done to rescue, resuscitate, reanimate, remake, rebrand and redeem the Democratic Party."-Arianna adds her two cents in, "Can The Democrats Make 2006 Their 1994?" Free appetizer: "For starters, they need to make sure that there is never another election held with electronic voting machines that don’t leave a paper trail, or voter suppression caused by long lines and not enough polling places in poor neighborhoods." Update: "Democratic Governors Want Outsider to Lead." Outside the Beltway, not the mainstream. The "framing" continues with Kos' "DNC Chair: Rosenberg seriously mulling bid." DraftHoward.com says "we’re going on the air in Washington, D.C. to take our message to the belly of the beast, and make clear that Howard Dean is the choice of ordinary Democrats."
