Delay The Election?
This ought to make you mad. It won’t happen and Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge is just floating a trial baloon, the idea smacks of ugliness. Would Bush and Co really find a reason o “of national security” to postpone the election? I don’t think they can, as the Constitution spells out that the election are held by the states and there is no real National election persay, only a legislative addressing of the eletoral votes. I don’t think the President can suspend the electoral college, as it is also spelled out in the constitution, but looking at the courts ruling in 2000 that brought us Bush43, anything is possible, I suppose.
Well, let’s pretend that he could… why would he? I mean, if it weren’t a national emergency. Do you think he might delay them until he could find Osama? I think his poll numbers will continue to slip, espcecially after the debates. So the longer dude waits, the lower I think his numbers will be. So, what is Bush’s real motivation for floating this idea?
