I have an article in the American Spectator today called "SOS in Minnesota." It's about the ties that Minnesota's Democratic Secretary of State, Mark Ritchie, has to ACORN, and whether his background as a community organizer and as an ally of ACORN might affect his handling of the upcoming Senate race recount (Republican Norm Coleman versus Democrat Al Franken).

A Democratic non-federal 527 fundraising group, the Secretary of State Project, that raises money to help elect Democrats as state secretaries of state help put Ritchie in office in 2006. Ritchie, like his liberal brethren, believes vote fraud is largely a myth and that you're Hitler if you think voters should have to present photo identification before stepping into the voting booth.

The term “community organizer” has taken on a very clear meaning. For example, Al Capone was a “community organizer”. I think that about says it all.

If that state seats Franken in the Senate, they deserve to be the laughingstock.....I’m sorry but, shame on them for even making this a close race.

A democratic republic can only exist if the people in charge have moral values. I think we are past that.

I really hate to be negative but I lived through the Washington State governors race debacle in 2004. Stick a fork in Coleman right now, he is finished. The RAT’s have made up bigger deficits than that before and they will do it again. Sorry, that’s just they way it goes sometimes.

Wonder how much influence Governor Pawlenty has in this?

We need to make sure that every military vote counts...

Bookmarked.

So, voter fraud is a “myth”?

Good, that means he can’t be committing voter fraud. Right?

[vadum]

I don’t think the governor of Minnesota plays a big role in running the elections there.

For example, Al Capone was a “community organizer”. I think that about says it all.

I have a newspaper clipping somewhere, with a photo of clinton hosting in the White House some confab of black 'community leaders'. Prominent among them was this asshole named 'Gator' Bradley, from a Chicago gang called the 'Gangster Disciples'. I'll always remember the TV clintonism of that day; "Tell me Gator, what should I do?" I think he's still in prison, but I'm not sure. These are the dem GOTV guys.

I assume that Coleman and the RNC have a battalion of lawyers on the ground in Minnesota, going over Democrat voters in urban areas "voter" by "voter." All they have to do is flip over a few rocks to find ACORN fraud.

The Democrats will try to steal this Senate election. But if the Republicans let them get away with it, they will earn that loss with incompetence. Sorta like the Presidential election, huh?

I’ve been saying that Gang members will consider themselves to be community organizers.

Bullshit. It’s how things go when people give up.

Hey, I wish Senator Coleman all the best. Believe me I do. Just be prepared for the worst and ecstatic if he wins.
