By the time you read this the results may already be in. Even if they are, the Swing Set edition of "This American Life" is a fascinating listen. There's infuriating story of the seemingly intelligent doctor who is going to vote for Bush because "he can make an unpopular decision" even though he disagrees with almost every decision Bush has made, and every misconception he holds about Kerry is shown to be false. It really worries me that someone like that can be a doctor - using his logic I should pick him as doctor because say, he can make the tough decision to amputate my leg even though I've just stubbed my toe and only need a band aid.
There's a story that highlights litany of election fraud perpetrated across the country and coordinated by Bush campaign people at the very highest level (not to mention with the assistance of brother Jeb in Florida). There's also the story about the mother and two sons raised with a strong religious and military background who start off sounding like prime candidates to be three Bush voters. One by one we hear how they start to see the light, ending with two strong Kerry votes and a maybe for Kerry. Click on the Real Audio icon or here to listen to it (its a one hour show).
