primitive live campfire on election; plus Bostonian Drunkard's live guzzling
« on: January 19, 2010, 10:03:24 AM »
This "live campfire" from Skins's island is also posted in the Election 2010 forum, our own live thread.  No use in copying-and-pasting it; it's just for occasional perusion as the day goes on.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x7504364

And then the Bostonian Drunkard has kindly offered this, for when Skins's island goes under lock-and-key.

How very amusing - I especially liked the little tangential discussion of pagan fairy catchers, and how "that" shop has a good price on them.  These people (to give them every benefit of the doubt) are like 5 year-olds with really, really bad ADHD

This is why when Liberals get power they lose it so quickly.  They ALWAYS over reach and when the voters tell them that by voting them out of office they still twist the reason to be anything other than what it really is.  When we get our asses handed to us we know and acknowledge why.  We accept it and learn (well we the common people, the Republicans party may be another story).  The "common" liberal still is in denial.  That is why they will never have power for long.

As Clinton said, "It's the economy stupid".  Too much Government and the people revolt.  The people reject progressive politics.

Fishy Ballot In Cambridge? “Scott Brown’s bubble was already filled in”
 Edited on Tue Jan-19-10 03:21 PM by jefferson_dem
Fishy Ballot In Cambridge?

A software engineer in Cambridge tells he was handed a fishy ballot at the polling station in a local firehouse — it already had the bubble next to Scott Brown’s name filled in. But doesn’t think it likely that it was fraud.

“Scott Brown’s bubble was already filled in,” the software engineer, Aaron Kemp, 28, tells me by phone. “I handed it back to them and asked, `Can I have a clean ballot, please?’”

The workers at the polling place in the Lexington Avenue Firehouse “were very surprised,” Kemp says, adding that he asked them to look through the other ballots to see if any others had a bubble filled in. “They looked through and they didn’t see any other ones,” he says.

Kemp says the area is very Democratic, and he worries that other voters might get a similar ballot without noticing, fill in Martha Coakley’s name, and submit a ballot with two names filled in, rendering it ineligible. But he says he thinks it was more likely a foul up than fraud. And, obviously, this is only one example.

14. Another one.
 Update: A second voter — Julia Volynskaya, a 34-year-old social worker from Brighton — is now reporting the same experience.

“I was handed a ballot and when I went to fill it out I saw that the bubble next to Brown’s name was already filled in,” Volynskaya, who voted today in Brighton. Election workers, she added, promised her they “were going to look into how this happened.”

Yes, I'm so sure when you're given a bogus ballot your first thought is to run straight to a rabid lefty blogger.

We can rest assured that if a race that should have been won by 30-points is lost it had nothing to do with an inept candidate and a toxic policy platform it MUST have been stolen from people who read Greg Sargent's blog in a state where dems control the election machinery.

I'm so sick of this "It's the people's seat" crap.
 I've had two repukes say that to me today. One sent me some stupid youtube link of Brown saying that in a debate, "The seat doesn't belong to Teddy Kennedy. It belongs to the people."

First of all, I don't live in Massachusetts, and neither do the repukes who regurgitated this dumb one-liner to me. So the seat doesn't belong to them at all.

Secondly, it IS Teddy Kennedy's seat. He was there for almost half a century, fighting for the little guy and gal. Shouldn't the person who sits there next fight for what he fought for?

One man.

One vote.

 Edited on Tue Jan-19-10 09:12 PM by xsquid
to sit in it and it has nothing whatsoever to do with any prior electorate or party, it quit being Ted kennedy's seat when he vacated it for whatever reason. Whoever the people vote for whether it be who I like or not is who it belongs to, if I didn't believe that I couldn't call myself a democrat. If democrats quit believing in this they cease being democrats and have left me behind, it also has nothing to do with what any other party does as bad behavior is no excuse for bad behavior. Flame me if you wish, I am old and old fashioned.

I always looked at it as dead ted having usurped Henry Cabot Lodge's seat.

Although for historical accuracy, it was John Kennedy who did that, and then there was an interim senator, Benjamin Smith, just before dead ted.

But it is Henry Cabot Lodge's seat.

Based on the criteria used in the Florida recount doesn't a ballot with two names filled in mean that the voter intended to vote Demonic...I mean democratic?

It's just that it seems to strain credulity that if the GOP could rig things in their favor they would pass up the presidential election and wait for a MA Senate race to do so.

Within 3%.


They weren't in 2008. A fix would've been too obvious.


That is why the polls mysteriously went from Coakley +15 to Brown +9 in two weeks. To make the theft plausible.
