YESSSSSSSS! My cousin is a lawyer w/ the notorious Baker/Botts law
firm. You know,the firm that is run by James Baker (in Houston TX) and is representing the Saudi Royal family against the 9/11 victims. He's been w/ them sev yrs. Well, I was in TX over the wk/end and he has always been a big Bush supporter and a good repug. He told me that he WILL NOT VOTE for shrub this time around!!! He said he's not crazy about Kerry and really wanted and likes Edwards. He hopes he is picked for VP but either way he'll vote democrat in Nov!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We're making progress kids!

1. Kerry must win by 10% to "win" by 1%
So, there is more work to be done.

Our voting systems are as corrupt as the Soviet Union, only more subtly so. The Busheviks are to us as the Bolsheviks were to the Russians.

In a Free Country, you're right, Kerry would be in in a landslide. But Imperial Amerika is NOT techincally a Free Country and there are many shoes left to drop on that score.

Don't be lulled into a false sense of security. It is going to take far more than a simple numeric majority to keep the Busheviks from retaining the power they've seized.

Remember that.

5. I doubt it. It's a HUGE law firm and my cuz is very smart. The fact that
has told other family members casually tells me that he not too worried. (Cross your fingers!) Now if he writes a book, look out!!:)

3. Any inside dope on why Baker chose to represent the Saudi's
on the 9/11 victim's families $10BB lawsuit?

I suspect I know why, but I'd love an insider's perspective on this.

4. No. I've tried and tried but no dice. They are a HUGE law firm and
my cuz knew nada about it. I think it is simply b/c of Baker's ties to * and that Baker/Botts are considered one of the top firms in US.
