As we prepare for our second week of viewing “Hacking Democracy” and Live Chat, based on the work of Black Box Voting, it seems like a natural time to give more background on this organization, its founder, Bev Harris, and the issues of electronic voting machines. SusanUnPC was kind enough to provide me with [...]

During the primaries and up until the convention, many Obama supporters pushed the narrative that Hillary supporters had to go through the classic stages of grief before we accepted Obama. On Correntewire, Lambert writes that Josh Marshall and others:
started running the “stages of grief” trope on Hillary supporters way back in February—you know, from anger, [...]

As a lifetime feminist, one who has marched and run for Equal Rights, who is Pro-Choice, who has escorted women through Operation Rescue protesters at Planned Parenthood, and counteracted demonstrations by Operation Rescue, I have to tell you, I cannot believe the vitriol coming out from the Left Wing regarding Sarah Palin, on a number [...]

Thanks to several alert readers here at No Quarter, I have learned about a new documentary on Caucus Fraud that is just coming out. “We Will Not Be Silenced, ” by Gigi Gaston, came into being according to their website because:
As Americans, we expect certain liberties and rights that were granted us by [...]

Today, there was a piece in the Washington Post on electronic voting machines, The Hidden Campaign:Ohio Voting Machines Contained Programming Error That Dropped Votes. It was not positive, I’ll tell ya. Turns out there WAS something hinky going on with those Diebold machines. Oh, and they don’t go by that name anymore, just so you [...]

1) While many people were wringing hands over the racist / nonracist McCain ad comparing Obama to vacuous celebrities, Rasmussen was doing a poll on what viewers thought.
Viewers largely thought it was NOT racist.

No Quarter published two fascinating posts on Tuesday about the current state of the race between McCain and Obama. Taken together, these two pieces of analysis convey ominous news for Obama.
The first post, Obama’s Flawed Race Strategy: Why the Black Vote Won’t Be Enough by iam0nly1, argues convincingly that Obama’s weakness in the Rust Belt [...]

As NoQuarter’s Bud White wrote recently in his devastating “The RBC: Bush v. Gore“:
We are seeing a recreation of the Florida 2000 coup d’état in mirror image. The Dean/Brazile/neo-liberal wing of the Party learned their lesson in Broward County all too well.
The most obvious clue of this theft, of course, is that Hillary has won [...]

I couldn’t believe my eyes when I read the words. There it was for me to take in slowly. I almost choked and hurled on the spot. But there it was in black and white. Those words that would force me to change my entire belief structure.
One of my heroes died Monday. It was [...]

The Obamabots are in a panic. Even though he has claimed the nomination still we Hillary supporters have not seen the light. They are in shock that we are not swarming with the masses to the selected one.
On Wednesday, I wrote a defiant post declaring that I would never vote for Obama. An Obamabot, in [...]

Friday’s Washington Post has a story on how the McCain campaign is looking to woo disaffected Clinton supporters. The GOP thinks it has a shot at these voters who believe Obama is out of touch with them and because McCain is a “maverick” who may be able to accommodate their interests.
That is why the [...]

In 2001, Gene Lyons and Joe Conason, both respected journalists of the center-left, co-authored The Hunting of the President, a frightening look at the Right’s conspiracy to destroy the Clintons. However, it is more frightening still to realize that the neo-liberals are putting to use the same tactics to destroy Hillary. [...]

On ABC News with Diane Sawyer, James Carville gave a preview of the next few days and maybe weeks regarding the Democratic nominating process. He also stresses what he sees as the Obama campaign’s heavy-handed flogging of the South Dakota / RFK kerfluffle.
While many have said that the nominating process will not run past [...]
