It's Kennedy versus Nixon all over again:

Republicans are buying TV ads featuring Ralph Nader in states
where votes for the Green Party candidate might tip the outcome
to George W. Bush. Clearly, if Republicans are fraudulently
inflating the popularity of Ralph Nader for the purpose of
electing George Bush, who can possibly claim that this election
is fair? Why doesn't consumer advocate Ralph Nader, expose this
deception? Why does he tolerate it?

Please excuse this intrusion, but it is not
possible to compete with this:
Edward Straight, chairman of Bush's internet
operations staff, said his organization's latest
research shows that fully 80 percent of messages
favorable to Bush on Bush message boards are put
there by paid staff of the Bush Campaign. Upwards
of 40 percent of pro-Bush messages posted on other
non-Bush controlled boards are posted by hired
Bush public relations personnel, Straight said.
The entire operation is run out of basement offices
in a downtown Pittsburgh, Pa. bank, Straight reports.
"the cost advantages of this kind of campaign are
enormous," said Straight. "For a few hundred thousand
dollars we have been able to hire nearly 400 internet
users to repost our campaign materials and to maintain
a presence on all message boards."
"Make no mistake about it," Straight said, "The postings
you see extolling and defending the candidacy of George
W. Bush Jr. are not for the most part posted by amateurs
-- they're paid professional and there are a lot of them.
We think they're doing a bang up job."

Is there anything clean about this election?
