Crime fighter for Kerry

RNC chairman, Ed Gillespie, tells L'il Russ who's voting for Kerry on Tuesday.

MR. RUSSERT: Let me talk to you about some of the things that have been in the paper about both political parties. This is The New York Times from yesterday. "Big GOP bid to challenge voters at polls in key states. Thousands recruited as monitors in Ohio," some 3,000 people being paid money per hour to go to the polls and monitor them. Democrats are saying you're trying to suppress the vote.

MR. GILLESPIE: Not at all, Tim. In fact, we are trying to register new voters. We registered 3.4 million voters in this cycle. We're reaching out to non-traditionally Republican voters, trying to get them to vote Republican.

And I'll tell you what's going on in Ohio that is a concern. If you look at Franklin County, the center of the state, a very important county in the election, there are 815,000 people according to the census, 18 or older eligible to vote. There are 845,000 registered voters. There are 20 counties in Colorado where there are more registered voters than there are eligible voters. In Ohio, there was a report yesterday in the paper of a charged terrorist who was plotting to blow up the Columbus Mall being registered to vote. We've seen people there filing false registrations in exchange for crack cocaine. People with fictitious characters being registered to vote, Dick Tracy and Mary Poppins.

[...]

Now, it's important that every vote count. We don't want to see anyone disenfranchised by the rightful vote being denied, but at the same time, we don't want to have people disenfranchised by having their honest vote canceled out by a fraudulent vote. And I guarantee you, Tim, if Dick Tracy and Mary Poppins vote, they're voting for John Kerry. [my emphasis]

Well, I can't tell you what motivates Mary Poppins to support Kerry; perhaps it's his ability -- unique in this race -- to speak English.

But it is pretty obvious why Dick Tracy would go with the Senator from Massachusetts. Unlike Bush, they both understand the real threats to the Homeland.
