#1 You realize that Gray Davis has now signed a no-questions-asked California driver's license bill... and that driver's license holders can vote?

We demand Venezuelan observers for the upcoming Kalifornian elections!

The voices of the Undead must be heard! If you have been dead more than 20 years, please ask an illegal immigrant to cast your vote for you.

Come to think of it, these Venezuelan fellers must be some kind of conservatives.

#2 Hugo will make sure every one of them shows up to register. They're one of his core constituencies.

#5 Michael - I would like to hear some of the Daley stories! I know LBJ's legendary early forays well enough: He won his congressional seat in an election (Uvalde, in S. Texas, I think it was) where there were more votes cast than there were registered voters. And no one batted an eye. The rest is history, as they say.

#6 LBJ was jokingly known as "Landslide Lyndon" by his peers in the Seanate for the way he won his Senate seat -- by a few hundred votes after frantic, ah, "creative voting" techniques.

#7 Tutored by Sam Rayburn, his predecessor as Speaker, and the even more underhanded techniques he invented and mastered during his time, you just know he had favors he could call in all over the Dem Congressional Districts of the State. For it to be close, he must've lost by a landslide in the actual tally. He was a Pro's Pro and a Whore's Whore. I was there in Texas all those years and saw all the winks and elbow nudges. BTW, I distributed yard signs and bumper stickers for Goldwater when he ran against LBJ - and discovered that being in the opposition in LBJ's home state was sometimes dangerous. It was a good thing I was only a kid, else I prolly would've gotten mysteriously mugged or shot in a stickup attempt.
