No doubt this election was tampered with, no doubt that all the votes will never be counted, no doubt that somewhere, perhaps many somewheres, races have been stolen by the Republicans.

The difference between the last three elections and 06 is largely this: there's too much awareness of electronic vote insecurity that they couldn't steal it this time.

No high-profile races flipping from the our side to theirs, late at night.

No major exit poll discrepancies (so far as I know).

No inexplicables.

Not enough to keep us from running the table.

They couldn't steal it this time. No doubt they wanted to. They certainly knew how.

But if they gotten caught doing what they did last time, the bright light of a new day would have exposed their sorry asses, because you never stopped digging, sharing, yelling, writing, posting, working. You dragged this elephantine beast out of its dark dwelling, kicking and screaming.

The elephant is in the room. And now they know that we know it's in the room.

Our nation owes a huge debt of gratitude all of you: BradBlog, TIA, Autorank, heiderheid, gary beck, land shark, mod mom, althecat, bill bored, and so many more that I can't think of. To Andy Stephenson, who gave his country his best years. To even Bev Harris, who started the ball rolling and then she herself veered sadly off course.

To all of you: YOU are patriots.

We owe you so much.

Thank you can only be the beginning.
