I assume I'm jumping on a pretty big blogwagon here, but I just don't see how I could not do it.
Rolling Stone: Was the 2004 election stolen?
I was just listening this morning to NPR's "To the Point" on which progressives were arguing about what's wrong with the Democratic Party, why the people don't seem to be on board with their candidates or their messages, and what they need to do to change.
But what if there isn't anything wrong with the Democratic Party from an electability standpoint and never was?
What if there was never anything wrong with Al Gore or John Kerry? What if the American people liked both of them perfectly well enough?
Seriously, what if we really never elected W., only inaugurated him twice?
Is "To the Point" missing the point?
On the one hand I'd have a lot more hope and optimism about Americans as a people.
On the other hand, unless this Rolling Stone article sparks a massive investigation, the MSM dogpile on the story, and Congress is forced to enact a flood of real new reforms, I don't see a fix in sight. When you don't like the way an elected elections official criminally rigs elections, how exactly do you go about electing someone else?
It doesn't bode well for the November 2006 elections, that's for sure.
