MSM acknowledges Dem's suspicions about "04" outcome in Ohio.

[wisteria]

Very small mention, but every little bit helps. From, "First Read".

Blackwell is also a lightning rod for Democrats for the role he played, as secretary of state, in overseeing Sen. John Kerry's narrow loss to Bush in Ohio in 2004 -- an outcome which sealed Bush's re-election and about which some Democrats remain as suspicious as they do of then-Florida Secretary of State Katherine Harris' role in the 2000 recount

The entire paragraph, which I personally found interesting.

Blackwell is also a lightning rod for Democrats for the role he played, as secretary of state, in overseeing Sen. John Kerry's narrow loss to Bush in Ohio in 2004 -- an outcome which sealed Bush's re-election and about which some Democrats remain as suspicious as they do of then-Florida Secretary of State Katherine Harris' role in the 2000 recount. (Coincidentally, Harris is also seeking a high-profile statewide office this year, and it will be interesting to see if Democrats use their roles in Bush's 2000 and 2004 victories against them, such as for voter mobilization.)

1. Ah, so it's just sour grapes then

Nice touch, Karl.

[ray of light]

2. finally in the mainstream though. This must not make

kkkarl happy.

3. Yeah, well..

..how nice of the MSNBC gang to brush by Blackwell's "role" with such namby pamby vagueness, as though the huge body of documented election fraud in Ohio under Blackwell's leadership shouldn't be mentioned. As though he doesn't have already indicted cronies who helped steal elections in Ohio.

Chances are that conservative Ohio voters who see this report will simply be comforted with the notion that poor Mr. Blackwell is being targeted by libruls.

4. Well, maybe it is time for all Democrats to start making a point of

making people aware of the issues with the past two Presidential elections and start calling for reforms and honesty in all of our elections-loudly.Now may be the best time. With people aware of and watching for the Repubs dirty tricks, they might get away with these things anymore.

5. add this to the pile

(and the pile is just getting bigger and bigger)

"Candidates find missing votes"

(article where two write-in candidates for the Dem primary knew that they had filled in the ballot correctly ... and they got absolutely zero votes ... and they were not allowed to view the ballots until well after the challenge period expired)

8. The screwy, illogical rules that have been adopted over the last decade in

so many states, really have not been addressed on a national level. This has been a deliberate rigging of the rules and the voting for many years, and they have covered many bases while the DNC has sat by mute.

McAuliffe and Clinton never NOTICED all this was happening all over the country?

6. backwell Will End Up Like Harris

Her reward was a seat in Congress, but then she got greedy & wanted more. blackwell ought to take notice.

[wisteria]

7. Agree! n/t

[Awsi Dooger]

9. I think it's awesome Harris and Blackwell are running statewide

Not only a dual defeat, but potential to impact the Ohio senate race and Florida gov race thru increased turnout on our side, as the paragraph implies at the end.

10. Fear not! Our Democratic Leaders will be making a huge issue about

this.

On November 8th. :eyes:

11. He's a sleaze! Blackwell's dual role criticized

As voter ID rule takes effect, candidate is also election chief
