I am on the fence about it in many ways. I don't have enough info. or evidence -and prolly never will, to say so (although who knows, with Bush leaving office, people tend to get brave and come out of the woodwork with admissions/confessions)

I do find it curious that he had a brother occupying a high position in the state where the votes counted the most, breaking a virtual tie between he and his opponent that was actually taken to court to be settled finally in his favor. Coincidence? Possibly.

I am more puzzled as to what happend in Ohio in 2004 election, and the thousands of votes that went unaccounted for and/or were counted incorrectly in GW's favor. I am curious as to what happend all the abroad/mail-in votes that went unsent, with a judge ruling that thousands of voter mail being returned to sender was not against the law but was indeed quite suspicious and needed a full investigation.

Looking back, I note that, the whole "abuse of power" theme was something echoed throughout GW's presidency, sometimes proven with arrests and resignations and sometimes not proven with fruitless investigations and inquiries.

But it is food for thought. Do I know anything here for certain? No. But, like the rest of the world, I don't care now that he's finally gone.
