Bush was NOT in jeopardy of losing his Ohio electors yesterday. That wasn't even the point. But you certainly wouldn't have known from the debate yesterday. While Senate and House Democrats talked about election reform and the desparate need for fair and open elections, the GOP spent their time debating a straw man. No Democrats were claiming that John Kerry won the election, but that there
