It is incredible to me that the Times has to be the one to bust this open. You'd think the Democratic Party and/or the Obama campaign would be all over it.
I've assumed that since Sen. John Conyers' report, the Dems would have a detailed, agressive plan to avoid a repeat of the Ohio debacle in 2004- silly me.

Capitalism searches out the darkest corners of human potential, and mainlines them.

Me too, I've never understood the Dems complacency over this. I guess fixing it is one of the obring committee jobs with neither profile nor credit, so it's seen as getting in the way of seeking campaign contributions. Plus there's the "I got in so the system ain't too broke" attitude.

But there's just been too much of this in the last two years to excuse as incompetence. I'm beginning to wonder if there isn't a little bit of "bi-partizan" cross party collusion going on at senior levels. Lieberman isn't the only blue dog to have gone native.
