DNC chairwoman denies Obama camp retreating from NC
By Justin Sink - 10/25/12 09:05 AM ET
Democratic National Committee (DNC) Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz said Thursday that Democrats "don't agree" with assessments of the presidential race that show North Carolina now leaning toward Mitt Romney.
President Obama narrowly won the state in 2008, but recent polling has suggested that Romney now holds a slight but steady advantage in the state. The president's decision not to visit North Carolina during his swing-state campaign tour this week has prompted speculation that the Obama campaign is no longer focused on retaining the state's 15 electoral votes.
"We don't agree," Wasserman Schultz told CNN. "We know, particularly in North Carolina — remember, our convention was in Charlotte, N.C. — we planted a flag there and have had a really strong organization, ground game, that we're executing, because early voting has begun there. And we were there from the beginning of the 2008 campaign and have never left."
The DNC chairwoman was also asked about the resignation of Rep. Jim Moran's (D-Va.) son from his congressional campaign staff after conservative activist James O'Keefe posted an undercover video showing him discussing voter fraud.
Wasserman Schultz called the video "indefensible" and said Moran's son, Patrick, was right to resign.
But the DNC chairwoman quickly pivoted to attack Republicans.
"Look, the difference here is that when something like that happens, on our side, first of all, that's one person, and he was quickly taken out of the campaign and we stressed our commitment to making sure that there is no tolerance for voter fraud. But let's look at the Republican Party," Wasserman Schultz said. "In three states, the Republicans have gotten caught paying Nathan Sproul's firm for voter registration fraud. My state and Virginia and one other state where the Republicans paid a firm that was caught deliberately, fraudulently registering voters, tossing out some registrations that were Democratic voter registrations. And so the deep-seated, widespread voter fraud that the Republicans are seen to have been continuing to contract this firm for, that's what's very disturbing."
The Florida lawmaker went on to say that incidents should be dealt with as Moran's was, because "there's zero tolerance for voter fraud."
"That's the bottom line," Wasserman Schultz added.

When Wasserman Shultz stops using “Dippity-Do”
and goes back to using Carnuba Wax ,
then you know that she is in trouble !
Debbie Do Rag must be pumped up on 5 hr energy drinks.
Oh how they can sense the election slipping away like sand oozing from between their fingers...
Of course they arent giving up the state. They have their rigged machines changing votes to Obama.
Can someone please translate Wasserman-Schultz's blabber and explain what this compulsive liar is talking about?
She will likely be ousted as DNC chairman in the wake of the impending 'Rat shipwreck coming up in twelve days.
Democratic strategist Paul Begala: Obama has given up on North Carolina.
Hey Miss Blabbermouh.. I moved here from Tennessee a few months ago and I can say that I have personally moved 5 votes from the lying ass Dem party. You can’t say the same for the Messiah of all Socialists!
Take your cush job and shove it.
When I got to her quote I had to scroll back up to see if it was satire.
She’s been drinkng hair straighteer and is confabulating more than usual.

GOP hired someone to contest fraudulent Dem registrations a la ACORN, and that’s what I think she means by “tossing out some registrations that were Democratic voter registrations.” “Deliberately, fraudulently registering voters,” parsed, sounds like she’s saying the act of registering voters is itself a fraud, rather than that his firm registered non-citizens, dead people or fictional people. But I’m just guessing. Sounds like overkill in order to distract from the long history of deeply entrenched Dem voter fraud.
RCP moved NC back to a swing state from leaning Romney.
Yep. What psychologists would call "projection." Worse than the proverbial "pot calling the kettle black" because in this case the pot is black and the kettle seems to be clean.
How can anyone take Wasserman-Schultz seriously after all those lies, especially about Israel?
Apparently based on a single PPP poll showing a tie.
RCP avg - Romney +5
This is probably more telling:
Thanks justiceseeker93.
They are talking up GOP vote fraud (via “rigged” touchscreens) and “voter suppression”.
Just getting their excuses ready if Obama loses a close one.
