He wasn’t concerned with the facts after they were established, he acted as if the facts didn’t exist, even though he uncovered them and reported them.

Attack Clinton for her policies and actions, not for the actions of people who have nothing to do with her campaign.

WVWV waits until after the the registration deadline for primaries has past to get to work because they concentrate on the general election. Claiming they are attempting to influence the primary makes no sense because they don’t deal with primaries.

As for who leads in the insanity I won’t state an opinion because I am automatically biased against Obama for his efforts blocking the resolution of the DNC v Florida primary problem. He shouldn’t expect Floridians to forgive him for the part he played in disenfranchising them.

Obama and Clinton are both moderate Republicans with a “D” behind their name. I won’t support or vote for either one. I don’t vote for Republicans, no matter what letter follows their name. There are reasons John Edwards hasn’t endorsed either one.

I would note that many people who are assumed to be Clinton supporters, aren’t, they just don’t like misogyny, and it has been rather rampant. I used to sit on an EEO board when I was in civil service, and I am thoroughly grounded in the “dog whistles”. Some of the worse cases involved supervisors who were totally clueless about what they were saying and doing, and how everyone else viewed it. Using terms your grandparents taught you was not a good idea unless you really understood what the terms meant.

In for-profit programs I tend to do a lot of labeling assuming someone else may have to maintain the code if I get hit by a truck, or it is a team project. Meaningful variable names and comments make life a lot easier than C code with single letter variables and no white space. Experience has taught me that people expect to call you years after you wrote something and get changes quickly, which is like asking Rowlings what she meant by the her description on page 73 of The Secret Chamber at a forum. She would probably have to refer to a copy of the book.

On the complaints side, the WVWV targets only the November generals, because you are still talking about 51 different elections systems at the state level. This limits the efficiency of any GOTV or registration drive. It would be nice if there were Federal rules for Federal elections, but that isn’t going to happen. Hell, it would be a “great leap forward” if Florida had one system, instead of the 67 currently in place.

But I haven’t seen nearly as much crazyness on the interwebs from Obama supporters as I have from Clinton supporters.

complaint processes are notoriusly slow anyway, but with elections being episodic events, and campaigns being temporary coalitions, it’s probably even more difficult.

comments? whuzzat? i never did a lof of programming, so maybe i would have gotten better at it with practice, but i sometimes found that deciphering my comments several months later wasn’t all that much easier than deciphering the bare code.

ot, i know puppy trainer is less regional than mullet wrapper, and far be it from me to discourage diversity in euphemism, but i discovered early on that making that crucial transition from indoors to out is a lot easier if you just put a piece of sod in a tray for the indoors part of it. eliminates that extra annoyance of carrying the paper on walks.

I’ve done some volunteer political stuff in California, and there was a problem with part of the operation the candidate had, but he was ready for re-election before he knew about it, which was a PITA trying to tweak code you haven’t seen in four years. If we had known at the time it would have taken 15 minutes, but it took two days just to find the code based on the complaint. [I tend not to “over comment” the stuff I write for free.]

It wasn’t a legal thing, it was an annoyance thing, and you don’t want to annoy people who vote when you’re a politician.

Thanks for the link. I’ve heard references to that a couple of times, but it’s nice to have the article from his local puppy trainer, and before he became the savior of the world as we know it.

kind of annoying for obama to complain about this.

I mean, you can register at the DMV and well as the Supervisor of Elections office, but you only get a license once every six years, so that’s not very efficient. My local on-line system isn’t even secured, so I’m not using that.

There just haven’t been the voter registration drives that I’ve been accustomed to over the years. Everything seems to be directed at TV spots, which is pretty worthless in my area, even if I watched TV as there are no local stations between Pensacola and Panama City.

I’m not sure how much of that “multiple states” I accept. People may just have been complaining about robocalling. My Mother was pretty ticked off when she discovered the “Do Not Call” list didn’t include political calls. I wouldn’t expect WVWV to catch it, but contractors would generally react to the criticism and make changes.

wvwv has sent me a few e-mails, one of which was mildly confusing because it seemed to maybe possibly perhaps imply that i was an unregistered voter they were targeting, but this being florida, i just figured they’d tried to work from our nice, clean, accurate voter database[s].

which did lead me to wonder if somehow i’d been purged from the rolls, so i can see how people getting those robocalls would be disconcerted.

fortunately, i’m one to pick up the phone and call the local supervisor of elections and start asking questions, but not everybody would know they could do that. and hard to believe, but it’s true, not everyone even has a phone they can blithely pick up.

wvwv, while they should be lauded for their gotv efforts, really should be criticized for not including some kind of identification of their organization and some version of if you’re already registered to vote, that’s lovely, please feel free to pass this on to someone who isn’t. especially since it seems they made similar missteps in multiple states.

yeah, i’m feeling pretty let down by facing south at the moment too.

I backed Edwards after Richardson dropped out, but these obsessives are doing their best to elect McCain by pissing everyone else off.
