Here's one link to that: http://www.thepeoplesvoice.org/cgi-bin/blogs/voices.php/2008/02/04/election_theft_2008_the_perfect_crime_30

This was posted on a listserve concerning my union, but the URL didn't come through. I found it by Google and reposted it to that group. But when I clicked on that URL in my own message, it took me to a screen that said:

Ultimately, I was able though to get to the site from that screen. I get mucho Spam these days, but had NEVER seen this message until now. And I'm pretty well familiar with the "Alex Jones" sort of websites by now, but this one appears to be a lot closer to authentic investigative journalism. And having been TV-free for over a decade, I'm NOT the target audience this website is reporting on.

I don't recall seeing anything on this on DU. Any comments?

Extract from the link in the OP:
The great election theft of 2008 began months ago as the "unelectable" candidates were identified, branded, demonized, ridiculed and eventually weeded out one by one. It ended on January 30 when John Edwards, resurgent neo-populist and the last remaining bane of status quo oligarchs, dropped out of the Democratic presidential race.

Only six states had a chance to make their selections known before Edwards ended his campaign; residents in the other 44 have no progressive alternative on the ballot. With "super Tuesday" coming up, millions of voters will be asked to choose among candidates from the moderate right, the corporate right, the religiously insane right or the Curtis LeMay right.

So, through deft manipulation of voter attitudes by mass media, status quo corporatists and oligarchs can't really lose. This outcome may not meet the standard for election theft, but the results speak for themselves. Our ruling aristocracy has hijacked another critical election cycle, and they didn't even need electronic vote switching, voter caging, voter roll purging, deceptive mailers, stolen or destroyed ballots, access to proprietary source code, hacking for the GOP or simple understaffing in progressive precincts. At least not yet.
