Molly Ivins -- Hobbling down the homestretch

My, what fun we are having this festive fall campaign season. It makes me miss the warm, positive, upbeat, people-loving candidates of yesteryear. Like Richard Nixon.

Both parties are already accusing one another of voting fraud, and reports abound of problems with new voting machines, so it looks as though we're in for another of those fabulous post-election seasons. Won't you be glad if it's not really over?

Easter Lemming, active in politics for idealistic, possibly hopeless causes. Whatever happens he rises again next time.
