lamentable, but predictable from the dlc/"centrist" point of view. rather than challenge this outright miscarriage of electoral justice (the voter rolls purge, the police blocks in minority neighborhoods, chad-o-mania, &c., &c.), it's better to be seen as the model of restraint and probity. demanding justice is equated with providing the right with fuel for their charges of "loony left," "hate-filled," "unpatriotic" &c.
as with so much about gore and the dlc crowd, right, but for the wrong, possibly worst, reasons -- like, say, throwing over a presidential election you just won, simply because you can't/won't stare down the rabid-response flash mobs...
why don't charges of "loony," "hate-filled," "unpatriotic," (not that this is one i'm dying to claim for myself or my ideology -- dr. johnson's famous "scoundrel" bromide, and all) stick to the right-wingers demonstrably exhibiting these tendencies?

I've gotta say, after hearing so much about inefficiency and incompetence in Iraq, it's amazing we actually got to sovereignty ahead of schedule. We're like the Domino's Pizza of liberation!...Does this mean we'll be bringing the troops home two days ahead of schedule?
