It may be kind of a tired sentiment, but today, watching the "debate" in the House over the valorous objection to Ohio's vote, I couldn't help but wonder, what would Clinton do?
Had this voting debacle occurred and put him in office, how would he have reacted? Surely, surely, and though I am not an enormous fan, surely Clinton would have acknowledged the allegations of problems, and assured voters that steps would be taken to ensure the right of all citizens to vote, and that all their votes would be counted. I cannot imagine Clinton simply refusing to acknowledge the many complaints.
(jump, if you're interested)
In contrast: W. I am not a big consumer of MSM, so I could have easily missed it. But I personally have heard
nothing of any acknowledgement by W of the problems, let alone any sort of pledge to look into the problems and, if true, resolve them to avoid similar problems in the future.
Have I missed W's pledge to clean up election problems?
And, extending further, I can't think of any Republican leaders who have acknowledged the complaints, and pledged support to explore and solve this problem.
Have I missed them? If not, this is something to make a BIG stink over. This is true red meat for the Dems if they want to regain status as party of the people. If, as it seems, R's universally ignore voting problems, and D's universally propose investigating and resolving voting problems, isn't this alone to (if not actually solve the problem, for now) give us some traction as a party again?
