Disturbing news is coming out of Oregon, as hundreds of people are reporting that their voter registration was switched from Republican to non affiliated without their knowledge or permission. Oregon is entirely vote-by-mail, and ballots were sent out in the last week of April, and due this Tuesday at 8:00 PM.

As Oregon is a closed primary state, this effectively denies these people the right to vote in the party’s primary that...

FULL TITLE: ‘ROBBED.’ Dem Gil Cisneros defeats Repub Young Kim proving Orange Cty. CA is sexist AND racist (that’s how this works, right?)

Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) on Monday will launch a multimedia campaign to draw attention to the involvement of Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) in the “Keating Five” savings-and-loan scandal of 1989-91, which blemished McCain’s public image and set him on his course as a self-styled reformer. Pushing back against what it calls McCain's “guilt-by-association” tactics, the Obama campaign is e-mailing millions of supporters a link to a website, KeatingEconomics.com, which will have a 13-minute documentary on the scandal beginning at noon Eastern time on Monday.

Some Republicans say the county is setting voters up...

Winner-take-all Electoral College math could convert a modest burst of momentum from President Bush or Sen. John Kerry into a sweep of tossup states -- and a presidential mandate. With state and national polls showing the race essentially tied, Bush and Kerry are making strategic decisions based on the assumption that that the popular vote will be evenly divided and every Electoral College vote will count. Thus, in the final...

This may be old news, but John Podesta was on the Sunday news programs talking about the supposed link between the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth and the Bush Campaign. Seems those who live in glass houses shouldn't be so naked. This link calls this "part II", of an expose of MoveOn.org's campaign corruption, and George Soros's plan to defeat Bush. I know, old news, but this document goes into specifics and the ties shown are a little damning at this particular time. At the bottom are details of a complaint to the FEC. Anyone seen this or know where...
