I meant to type 'Useful Idiots' in the subject line but 'Tools' sounds slightly nicer.
Heard an interesting complaint from the left on last night's news that was repeated ad nauseum this morning.
A registered Dem voter walks into a precint and is mistakenly given a Republican ballot because the poll worker errantly believes that the Dems aren't having a primary...due to the DNC's public snub decree.
This gets played back as an epidemic and later as an unprovable conspiracy from activists on the right. A singular event in one precint, per one of the news blips somewhere in the middle of the day, revealed that demagoguery-hype is still a core tool of the crybabies on the left.

One wonders what effect poll worker error and blatant voter fraud played in McCain's victory last night... He is capable of everything the Clintons are capable of - EVERYTHING!

Wow, this story certainly did morph. Originally it was reported as an Independent being told by poll workers that he had to choose between a Rep or Dem ballot, because it was a closed primary.
They weren't supposed to let him vote in either though, since he was an Independent.

...They weren't supposed to let him vote in either though, since he was an Independent.That's the way I understand it too, Chris... A Florida poll worker called into Rush's show on Tuesday and explained the whole situation... The unregistered independant should have been turned away and sent home - That's Florida state law...
Florida apparently is still having trouble with this whole election thing...

Man oh man. If a poll worker doesn't understand what "Closed Primary" means, we're beyond help. But 5 will get you 20 they know who won the last "Dancing With The Stars".

If McCain wins, the executive branch will become a slight variant of the Democrat Party under Bill Clinton.
If Hillary wins, you will see the Democrat Party under the control of Hillary Clinton.

Judging by all the high level endorsements that Obamarama is getting, he may very well get the nomination.
Kennedy et al probably think that since he's such a lightweight, that they can control his strings from behind the scenes.

According to what I heard, they knew the difference but were instructed to do what they did by whoever was in charge.
