Nothing's perfect in life

Those are the words that Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld spoke yesterday when talking about the upcoming elections in Iraq. He suggested that elections in part of the country would be better than no elections at all, gently giving comfort to the terrorists by suggesting their actions would in fact prevent democracy from occurring in some parts of Iraq.

But since partial democracy is better than no democracy at all, I would suggest a plan to keep election on track here in America. Bush and co. continue to remind us that Al Qaeda intends to strike to disrupt our elections here in America. To help prevent that from happening, I suggest we set up a dummy election in the following states: Montana, Idaho, Utah, North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Texas, Indiana, Louisiana, Alabama, Georgia, and Kentucky. The results won't matter in these states, but that's okay, because real elections in most of America is better than no elections. Then we would lower the EV requirement to 175. First man to 175 wins the election.

The dummy elections, however, must be kept a secret. That way the terrorists won't know which state to hit to disrupt real elections, and would not bother us come Nov 2. It may not be the best plan, but hey, nothing's perfect in life, right Rummy?
