Fox, with Pawlenty’s help, continues spreading car-ballot fiction
Hannity continued questioning that: “Is the fix in? … Do you suspect cheating is going on?”
What Hannity — and to a lesser degree, Pawlenty — fail to acknowledge is the history of vote tallies changing pre-certification. And both pass on the lie that Minneapolis’ election director found, as Hannity erroneously puts it, “32 absentee ballots hiding in the trunk of her car — all of them conveniently going to Al Franken.”
From there, the Wall Street Journal picked up on it and reported it as fact; similar to Hannity’s on-screen graphic, the error appeared in a story headlined “Mischief in Minnesota?”
But as MinnPost’s David Brauer reported yesterday: the story of the 32 absentee ballots is flat wrong.
still no talk about Inouye throwing a fundraiser for convicted felon, Republican Ted Stevens

Senate Dem logic on Lieberman is like their Alito and Roberts logic...faulty and a source of eventual regret. Does anyone really imagine all the directionless Rethugs, including Traitor Joe, will want to position themselves against Obama's efforts to restore America with a semi-awakened media on the prowl???

I agree, Obama is not treating Leiberman any different than he did McCain. He will kill with kindness until the Joe's next election. Joe will look like the slimey cretin that he is, and people will vote him out.

What about that $75K gift to Coleman? Anyone looking into that, Gov. Pawlenty? Coleman's hands are so dirty, he'll never get them clean, even with garage hand cleaner.
Besides, if the Rethugs can have actor/warmonger candidates, we deserve a comedian/pacifist, don't we? Or is that too fair for those crooks?

Why shouldn't McCain's lap dog not support Bush's lap dog?

From MNCampaignReport:
Senate recount NewsLadder is up
Thu Nov 13, 2008 at 07:18:29 AM CST Thanks to the folks at NewsLadder, we now have a NewsLadder for the Minnesota Senate recount -- remember, it's just like Digg, but for a single topic. In this case, that can be blog posts or traditional-media stories on the recount, and the wisdom of crowds props up good stories.
Wondering - daring to do so out loud, actually - if Obama's support for Lieberman isn't actually good for the effort to rid the Senate of Joementum. If Senate Dems oust Lieberman, they'll have gone against the wishes of their President, even though Obama's desires are irrelevant to internal Senate issues.
Mavericky, ain't it?

There is no excuse for letting Lieberman keep his chairmanship. You keep 1 independent that has helped republicans defeat democrats runnng for senate. Makes no sense. And I will donate to the campaign of any opposition these senators have in their primary. I will further not give one dime to the DNC or any democrat senator that takes up for Lieberman in the general election.

Plus, it's just a cool platform.
