11. I have a feeling ...
Pat Buchanan would win this time, since he has the most face-recognition from his 24/7 cable appearances.

2. Re-do 2000-2008 ....
Florida passed legislation last year to purge voter database. Reports show thousands of Florida voters' addresses were change to a Georgia address, voters' party affiliation changes when they update their driver licenses, voter caging, thousands of mail-in ballots were 'lost', and on and on....

8. Corporate Crime Reporter ranks states
Edited on Mon Mar-10-08 10:42 AM by flashl
Louisiana tops chart as most corrupt state in U.S.

Louisiana tops the chart as the most corrupt state in the nation, according to Corporate Crime Reporter.

Reports from the U.S. Justice Department's Public Integrity Section are based on the rankings of public convictions that come from federal prosecution. There were 7.67 convictions per 100,000 Louisiana residents.

This number was figured by calculating the convictions from each state from 1997 to 2006. They were then added together to total the number of public corruption convictions per 100,000 residents.

Mississippi is ranked second, followed by Kentucky, Alabama, Ohio, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Florida, New Jersey and New York.

The analysis by Corporate Crime Reporter did not include the 15 states with a population under two million.

This is not the article I had referenced, but close.

9. While the list of the other six where revealing....
Especially Lousiana. Those people who have remained homeless since the hurrican can be explained because of being in the No. one corrupt state in the country. But this is what this whole election should be about........"In a culture of poverty, the poor submit to their environment and stop agitating for change. Poverty persists. In a culture of corruption, the citizenry submits and stops agitating for change. Corruption persists," Mokhiber said.
