Is the "clumsiness" of Green (SC) a preparation for the 2010 elections
not going so strongly to GOP?

For months now, every talking head is screaming about how the 2010 cycle is going to go mostly Republican (possibly loss of majorities in both sides of Congress)

For months now, the rise of the Tea Party and what does that mean for 2010 has been the most repeated meme on the M$M

But the special elections haven't borne a fraction of this out - sure, Scott Brown/Rand Paul/Chicken Lady got elected but most of the others went down in flames.

So prop up a barely known, unemployed guy in the primary, throw the machine counted ballots his way and make it so glaringly obvious that there must have been hacking.

Then they've got something to challenge the results when the "expected Republican win" doesn't happen - not a(nother) failure of Republican ideology, they can blame the "cheating libruls'

2. Paul was nominated and Chicken Lady lost
minor correction.

Dems can also challenge the results BTW.

4. My guess is GOP ratfuckers were installing an election fraud apparatus
and using it on a trial run. Results were so much better than anticipated, it is readily apparent. I expect they'll tone it down a bit in 2010 and 2012. Remains to be seen if DOJ, FEC, or M$M are paying attention.

5. That's my guess too -- Test run of ratfucking apparatus.
And they'll make fine-tuned adjustments so the Republican vote count doesn't exceed the actual number of voters at each polling place.

This was my first thought -- test run.

7. All they need is some doctored video and a pimp suit - look at how
effectively a story was created about ACORN - and how many Dem's quickly shit their pants and jumped in to vote for and sign the legislation into law.

Now we'll have a "history" of vote fraud in Democratic circles - and the M$M will repeat it over and over and over until it becomes the truth they want everyone to believe. Democrats, in their usual fearless cowering, will quickly jump on board with something stupid over that as well - it's what they do, and the Repugs know it.

At some point, there will be some "proof" offered where someone - perhaps with 'hidden' ties to the Dems - will be shown to have had access. It's SC - they can point out any African American janitor with a set of keys and a good chunk of the state population would be totally convinced.

8. This makes no sense whatsoever. If they can throw the election any way
they want, WTF would they be preparing for the expected Republican win not happening?
Jeez.
