	Or, perhaps, the DC realized that if they prevented the elections, 
the south would revolt, cutting out the only part of the US that's remained
totally unaffected by the invasion.  A charismatic southern candidate, 
running on the "look how these @#$% ups have botched the invasion" platform,
and a "these @##$%s are trampling our civil rights" platform. 
	Of course, that doesn't explain why the DC didn't hire Kanawa 
"pollsters" to hack the vote tallys.  Besides, Delphi has the military, the
FBI and CIA in their back pockets.  So even if President Whathisname 
is Prez, the DC, taking a page from the Illuminati, are still really running
the show.

	MY big gripe is that WEG was all set to say that the elections
were going to be called on account of Delphi, and now there's a new 
President.
	(DYN, that in the Funeral For a Friend issues of Superman, 
the Clintons attended the funeral.  _And_ the issue was written months
before the election.  I'm sure some DC editors were chewing knuckles
Nov 3.)
