If Bush steals the election the catalyst may be worse then we expect.
What happens if Kerry "steals the election"?
:eek: Never know, but here in florida that seems very unlikely. The secertary of state has told election supervisors not to accept registration forms where a box was not checked. The question was "are you a us citizen?". This was confusing and redundant because it already asks that on the form in another location.
Redundant? Certainly. Confusing? I would hope not. No matter how many times the question is asked, the answer should be the same. :rolleyes:

You have to rember that voters here are easily confused. Rember the punch card ballot syndrom last time?
 
Supposedly, democrats are more supportive of Amtrak (rail transportation) than republicans. However, there are a few things to keep in mind:

It was during the Carter Administration that funding was increased (for the year 1979), but that was the year that we lost the North Coast Hiawatha (Seattle-Billings-Chicago), Lone Star (Chicago-Houston), Floridian(Chicago-Miami), and National Limited (NYC-Kansas City). (The Inter-American was part of that, but most of its route is presently served by the Texas Eagle)

It was during the Clinton Administration (1997) that we lost the Pioneer and Desert Wind (it started when the 1979 cutbacks--above--took place).

Perhaps Reagan and Bush(es) were easy targets to "hate" and "resist," and we managed to keep the Amtrak system intact under them. Carter and Clinton were supposedly friends of Amtrak but allowed paring of the system under their watches.

So, I am not sure which one would be better for Amtrak.
