Another reason Senator Obama will likely win: McCain is a maverick, but Obama and Biden are, unashamedly, machine politicians and Obama is a machine politician of the first water — i.e., Chicago.

ACORN is gleefully doing scutwork for him, registering voters who are (a) people already registered, (b) people already registered multiple times, (c) dead people, (d) fictitious people, (e) things that may or may not be fictitious, or people.

E. Gad.

Nevermind Diebold accusations, Chicagoans do things "old school." Also, nevermind ACORN accusations, as they are tendered against leftists, who admit with unbridled abandon that they do such things.

Relative ethics has its upside, I guess.

It's only about "two percent," according to the blatherers cited in the above article. Only two percent.

Well within the usual operating parameters — of pre-2000 elections — but since then, haven't the operating parameters changed? Indeed, have not the elections of 2000, 2004 and 2008 been the longest run of "narrow victory" elections in awhile? Haven't we seen — indeed, has not The Left itself been the prime whiner — that two percent is these days enough to swing an election one way or t'other?

How's about this: let's just have a fair election, featuring one vote per legal, registered voter, and I'll take the inevitable, authentic systematic errors in stride.

But not systemic errors injected into the system from without. G.I.G.O.,** as we used to say in the old collidge days.
