Winning On Points

Jay Cost at Real Clear Politics:

From this, I would suggest that, as a prelude to unifying the party, both sides need to be a little modest.

The Clinton people need to recognize that it is not coincidence that Obama’s vote was more efficient. I have discussed this before. Part of this had to do with the fact that the delegate allocation system contains biases that happened to favor Obama. However, part of it had to do with the fact that the Obama campaign had a better understanding of the system. It found the possibilities and made the most of them. What’s more, the Clinton campaign let it do this. Simply put, Obama out-maneuvered Clinton. Clinton supporters need to respect this.

Meanwhile, Obama supporters need to recognize that their candidate is the victor not because he put together a majority coalition, but because he out-maneuvered Clinton. This was a highly intelligent strategy, but it was not a grand feat of majority building. Obama supporters need to recognize that their candidate won not because “the people had their say,” but because his campaign out-smarted her campaign. Accordingly, they need to respect the candidate whom they could not beat in a straight-up fight for votes.

Brilliant!!! So who's for HAVA repeal and 1-2-3 Voting? Shhh...

There was more than STRATEGERY involved in, although the millions of small online contributions was as historic as the fact that a racially inferior self bootstrap elevating HARVARD LAW JOURNAL editor was selected over a MULTIMILLION-HEIRESS ENTRENCHED BELTWAY CESSPOOL DWELLING DLC NAFTA NWO WTO HAWKISH QUASI-BLUE-DOG BAGGAGE LADEN DYNASTIC OLIGARCHY House of Saud connected IRAN-CONTRA linked Lieberman loven survivor of tarmac sniper fire, the BALLOT TABULATION in NH and NYC, etc., was BLATANTLY TAMPERED WITH.

The bottom line is that ACCOUNTABILITY is NOT an option.

The New York Times reported that in many districts where her opponent, Illinois Sen. Barack Obama, was thought to have strong support, the unofficial election night tally reported that he got no votes -- not a single one. Election officials blamed human error for the inaccurate totals.

The silence is nearly as deafening as the calls for HABEAS CORPUS restoration so the accused in Mukasey or Gates' custody are at a minimum permitted to see evidence that is being used as a basis for their detention and on rare occasions prosecution in court.

The fact that YOU HAVE NO RIGHTS, yet there is NO SUSTAINED OUTRAGE is a direct consequence of the LACK of any consequences for VIOLATING the OATH of OFFICE taken by the congress critters in the hill.

But stand by ...

DAVID IGLESIAS: [ While the POTUS candidates are ] pursuing their campaign, they’re not interested in this issue. I think a lot of people think this is yesterday’s news, not realizing that probably the largest inspector general’s report within the Justice Department’s history is ready to drop.

Karl Rove, is vowing to fight a congressional subpoena to testify on the politicization of the Justice Department. Last month, the House Judiciary Committee gave Rove a July 10th deadline to answer questions on the prosecution of former Alabama Governor Don Siegelman and the firing of nine US attorneys. House Judiciary Chair John Conyers has rejected an offer from Rove’s attorneys that would have had Rove appear on condition his testimony not be under oath and not be transcribed.

The firing of the nine US attorneys will likely be remembered as one of the biggest scandals in the Bush administration Justice Department. A number of political motives have been linked to the firings, including the attorneys’ refusal to pursue voter fraud cases, a top issue for Republicans.
