John on the SC..I am 'over' it...but don't tell me it didn't happen.

It is widely believed that Joe Kennedy bought the 1960 election for JFK by getting the Chicago Mafia to bring votes in. No one can 'prove' that either. That got us JFK instead of Nixon.

But there is even MORE evidence that the Republican party took Florida away from Al Gore in 2000 by disenfranchising many poor & black voters with various forms of lying & intimidation. That got us 8 years of Bush.

Neither scheme should have happened, but one worked out a lot beter for the country than the other. I'd hate to have had Nixon in office for the Cuban missle crisis, but I sure wish the Democrats had been there for 9/11.
