Vince, if you are referring to my posts, please go back and re-read them. I
said it was ironic that Bill Daley was going on and on the other day about
the butterfly ballot when in fact, the same kind of ballot was used in his
home district (as repoterd yesterday on NPR) That's all I said about irony.

reality was that Daley released something like 95% of the Chicago vote as
quickly as possible.
In a previous post I was speaking to Michael's seeming to lump together the
proven voter fraud in 1960 in Chicago with the current situation in Florida.
That's all. I certainly was not trying to bring up something that happened
40 years ago as an issue today. You know me, Vince, I live mostly in a
world of lawyers who tend to look at every word. Just caught my eye to see
the two situations apparently linked in Michael's post. But I know Michael,
too, and truly don't think he meant to spin anything - it just caught my
eye.
