32 days to go..... so anyway, time is short today, so let's get right to it: Cold Fury brings us this gem (that he found at InstaPundit): ....every suspicion you have about MSM being in the tank for O is true. We have a team of 4 people going thru dumpsters in Alaska and 4 in arizona. Not a single one looking into Acorn, Ayers or Freddiemae. Editor refuses to publish anything that would jeopardize election for O, and betting you dollars to donuts same is true at NYT, others. People cheer when CNN or NBC run another Palin-mocking but raising any reasonable inquiry into obama is derided or flat out ignored. The fix is in, and its working.... Splendid. Just f'n chipper. Wankers And it gets even better: Early voting is taking place in Ohio. Through the end of the week, people can register and vote on the same day. The Ohio Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner argues that they are merely "casting their ballot" rather than "voting" so the fact that Ohio statute requires 30 days between registering and voting would not interfere. So here is what is happening today. People are showing up to register and vote. There is no affirmative evidence that these people have not registered or voted somewhere else. There is no control. Normally in an election, partisan election monitors are allowed into polling places so that they can police each other. But not in two counties, Franklin and Montgomery, in Ohio. Brunner also issued an advisory opinion to counties saying that they are not required to allow election monitors. Couple that to the exchange between Senator Obama and a supporter at a campaign stop: SUPPORTER 5: i would like to know what you can say to reassure us that this election will not be rigged or stolen? [applause] -- or stolen? [applause] SEN. OBAMA: it helps in Ohio that we have democrats in charge of the machines. but, look, i come from chicago. some want to be honest, it is not as if it is just republicans who have monkeyed around with elections in the past. sometimes democrats have, too. No Siht? Really? It looks like Fox News has picked up the story. There's reports that the leftards are bussing people in from Illinois to vote. Watch Ohio; no Republican has ever been elected President without carrying Ohio. You can take a small degree of comfort in this: An auditor for the Federal Election Commission is attempting to have his bosses seek a formal investigation into the collection by the Obama for President campaign of more than $200 million in potentially illegal political donations, including millions of dollars of illegal, foreign donations, and has sought a request for assistance from the Department of Justice or Federal Bureau of Investigation. Or not.... But the analyst's requests have largely been ignored. "I can't get anyone to move. I believe we are looking at a hijacking of our political system that makes the Clinton and Gore fundraising scandals pale in comparison. And no one here wants to touch it." Remember, the Palin / Biden debate is this evening. Ace has been "live-blogging" the debates, so have your 'puter with you as you watch. more soon
