Weirder and weirder

Putin endorses Bush, while the British Left are mailing campaign messages trying to influence our elections.

Pat Buchanan endorses Bush.

And if you want to know how to destroy a democracy, first you convince one group that it has been robbed, then tell them to commit voter fraud. If Kerry wins through stuff like this, it would be a real constitutional crisis--not like Watergate, which was a case when things worked as designed to prevent a takeover. The real test of this system will be when half the country is so bitter and angry at losing an election that it is willing tear down the whole system on the grounds that it is already so corrupted that it can't be saved and any act of fraud is justified. Hugh Hewitt has it right. He predicted there will be a massive attempt to cheat in this election, and the only way to stop it is to defeat the Democrats decisively. Cheating won the 1960 election, but Richard Nixon let it pass. I don't think that could happen this time.
