How much is your soul worth?

I wish I knew how much they paid to get this guy, a national democrat with likely strong ties to California dems, to shill their product. Not gonna go into all the problems Diebold has had with California, but suffice to say that there were plenty.

With a phone call and a retainer, Diebold CEO Walden O'Dell has launched former Democratic National Committee chairman Joe Andrew on a 50-state ambassadorship for electronic voting.

O'Dell said he ``wanted to reframe some of the issues,'' Andrew said.....

Former Secretary of State Kevin Shelley suggested criminal prosecution, citing misleading statements by Diebold Election Systems executives and ``reprehensible'' tactics. The state joined a false-claims suit against the company and won a $2.5 million settlement.....

But Andrew isn't traveling the nation to talk about that or even to talk much about Diebold. So why is a ranking Democratic operative who was convinced Republicans ``stole'' the 2000 election working for Diebold and O'Dell, a battlestate fund-raiser for Bush-Cheney 2004?

Money!!!! He can say all he wants that it's about access and equality, but FORMER DNC Chairman Andrew has sold his soul for a pile of money.

------ And a quick shout to Marcia for the nice catch on this article.
