The same trick can be tried in different markets because none of the reports make the national news (or stay there long when the hoax is exposed).

There is a widescale corruption of bribes in major (Democrat) cities. Contracts worth billions and the number of affected cities keep rising. The Feds are investigating and getting convictions but everywhere the local angle is treated like a lone instance. There is a bigger picture of corruption to be exposed.

Same with the assaults and vandalism of Bush supporters and their homes in 2004 as the election continued.

That is an old Democratic tactic - right now a national trend like corruption or election fraud is treated as a local issue.

They do the same thing on legislation - each of the gun bills was treated as a local issue - but they were carbon-copy bills introduced in dozens of state legislatures.
