They are genuinely invested in this "John Doe" investigation.

$11k went missing from a fundraiser for troops.

Dunno how threatening/legit this is as it has Grand Jury secrecy surrounding it.

It's all the stupid turds have to hang on to. If Holder gets involved, then we'll know it's just another hyperpolitical prosecution/persecution and it will be seen that way in WI, and it'll be a gift to us--that'll REALLY put WI in play (more so than it already is because of last night). I don't know if the Obama admin is stupid enough to alienate the voters who voted for Walker but still might vote for  Commiebama, but I hope they are.

Uh, problem.

Didn't the break-in at Watergate happen in June 1972?

And then the elections were in November 1972?

I think Watergate happened before Nixon's landslide.

Perhaps the libelchick primitive means not "Watergate" but "knowledge about Watergate" instead?

But if so, some knowledge about the break-in came to light during the summer and autumn of 1972, none of which made Nixon look exactly clean.

The fact that even a then somewhat-stained Nixon won in an impressive landslide against McGovern speaks volumes.

The primitives don't know shit about history.

You're of course talking South Dakota here, with three electoral votes.

The appeal of George McGovern, who was U.S. Senator from there 1963-1981, to South Dakotans was his personal manner and style, his Great Plains modesty and simplicity.

Also, that he understood the importance of agriculture.

Despite all his goofy ideas, South Dakotans kept him because he was one of them, and South Dakota was (sincerely) the most important thing to him.

To have him as senator, fine; but as a North Vietnam-loving socialist president, no.

Karl Mundt (R), the other senator from South Dakota about the same time, 1948-1973, was one of the most conservative senators in Congress, closely reflecting the attitudes and sentiments of South Dakotans, but if he hadn't been one of them, South Dakota the most important thing to him, his ideology wouldn't have kept him in office.

South Dakota's a pretty small state, but they take their importance seriously.  This is a lesson that a couple of other (former) (R) senators and a (former) (R) congressman never learned.

Tom Daschle (D) (1987-2005) was initially popular for his South Dakotaness, but after he became Democrat leader in the Senate, he made a grievous error in supposing national issues were more important than state issues.

Too bad for Tom.

Right; if you're going to represent South Dakota, you better represent South Dakota.

South Dakotans are intriguing to Nebraskans, they being an entirely different sort of culture and society.
