GOP Moves To Steal Election
Obama Moves To Block
Barack Obama may well have calmly made his first "presidential" act a defense of the entire American System. And the protection of your vote.0 comments
Many Americans still feel that the Republican thefts of the 2000 and 2004 elections are Urban Legends. Those who closely follow American politics know better.
This time, it seems the Obama campaign was prepared and waiting for the GOP to make its eventual grab at the power it does not actually have, according to the will of the American people. If the GOP had the votes to remain in office, they'd simply let things play out. But they don't. No matter, they still are not about to relinquish power, the American people be damned. Not until their fingers are pried away from it. This is about nothing BUT power.
The Raw Story: Obama campaign wants Attorney-gate prosecutor to probe GOP's 'sham anti-fraud campaign'
This late-breaking event was also covered fully on Countdown.
Also on The Rachel Maddow Show.
CNN? Not so much.
This evening's coverage only mentioned it in passing, buried in a general campaign Candy Crowley report. In his follow up to the Crowley clip, Anderson Cooper never even mentioned it; missed it 360 degrees. As of this writing, there is no mention of this story whatsoever on the main CNN Web site page.
You have to look all the way down to the lower right of CNN's main interior POLITICS page under Latest Headlines before you find an unassuming link to this major story.
Here's CNN's story, once you can find it by following that unassuming link.
Developing.
