The Lost Albatross: I think I figured it out...

I think I figured it out...

...all this screeching from the right-wing about ACORN and alleged widespread voter fraud (for which there is little to no evidence)?

They're getting ready to lose.

I think all the ACORN stories are in large part about the right wanting to be able to challenge the legitimacy of an Obama administration, even in the face of an overwhelming victory.; October 22, 2008 at 8:24 AM

Then again, maybe the republicans don't want that because they'd lose for sure.; October 22, 2008 at 9:04 AM

Nat - You may be on to something there.; October 22, 2008 at 9:58 AM
