| President Obama and aides are asking the same question as other political professionals: Can he sustain the voter turnout organization that elected him twice? In a congratulatory e-mail, Obama campaign manager Jim Messina asks backers to fill out a questionnaire designed to chart their future -- and presumably gather information for future races, including the 2016 presidential election. "We´ve got so much more to accomplish over the next four years," Messina writes. "The first step is looking at the work we did and defining where our movement should go from here."

Of course he can. Cheating does that.
Heard on local talk radio this morning that those counting the votes in the Allen West election stopped at midnight, had 305 votes left to count before the noon deadline the next day. They couldn´t get it done. He is still not accepting the count. Good for you, Allen West! The only one with the spine to stand up to their vote stealing.

Messina looking for more precents to expand the voter fraud that took this eleciton cycle.
He knows RNC cannot challenge and the RNC has been nuetered since the 1982 settlement in NJ between the DNC v.RNC.

#2, the only reason to do that was he had dropped within the .5% - and then a closely watched recount uncovers their blatant cheating. Dragging things out in a court case gives them more time to cover their tracks.

This much vaunted turnout machine is only one (IMO minor) reason for the results. The other side is unguided and has had a standard bearer who is at odds with the grassroots in nearly every presidential eletion. That was not the case with Ronald Reagan, nor was it an issue in 1994, 2002 and 2010 when ´Rats got the stuffing beaten out of them.

When you import 785,000 new foreign students in 2011, they need to be held together, with all the other radical groups in their database... I´m in it & they are continuing the communications. Now they are focusing on keeping the group together with activities like submitting issues for congress, voting online for their favorites, etc. This is Obama´s street army. Hundreds gathered outside the WH after Obama´s win, chanting for Marxism, communism, etc... from DC area colleges.

Last year, when Tamerlan Tsarnaev spent six months in the Russian region of Dagestan, he had a guide with an unusually deep knowledge of the local Islamist community: a distant cousin named Magomed Kartashov. Six years older than Tsarnaev, Kartashov is a former police officer and freestyle wrestler—and one of the region’s most prominent Islamists. In 2011 Kartashov founded and became the leader of an organization called the Union of the Just, whose members campaign for sharia law and pan-Islamic unity in Dagestan, often speaking out against U.S. policies across the Muslim world. The group publicly renounces violence.

(Snip) In 2004, teenagers broke into the building and dumped mercury there and at a nearby apartment complex, which had to be evacuated.

Members of the Boko Haram militant group allegedly stormed a military compound and prison in northeastern Nigeria this week, killing dozens and freeing more than 100 prisoners. The coordinated attack is the latest in a series of violent assaults that have taken place since war broke out in 2009 between the extremist Islamist group and the Nigerian military, and observers say neither side shows sign of deescalating. "Heavily armed Boko Haram terrorists" launched the attack, which killed prison guards, policemen, soldiers, and civilians, according to Musa Sagir, the military spokesman in Maiduguri.

Officials at three publishing houses said Monday that they had been contacted about a planned memoir by Collins, the first active player in any of four major U.S. professional sports leagues to come out as gay.

BALTIMORE — A long-awaited supermarket is finally coming to West Baltimore. As Christie Ileto explains, a 67,000 square foot grocery store ends what residents have long called the “food desert” in Howard Park. Ask any Howard Park resident where the nearest grocery store is and they’ll tell you: “We have to go across tracks to Food King or Security Boulevard,” said Anthony. “Oh, wow. You’re looking at a good mile either way,” said Donald Sterling. After 14 years without a grocery store, area residents relying on public transit will soon look no further than their front doors.

But look a little closer and it’s obvious that the well-documented internecine struggles at the “Today” show have taken their toll on Lauer’s nice-guy image. For one thing, only 41% of the more than 1,000 people surveyed said they trust Lauer. That’s the lowest number for any of the network news

BASRA - The fighter´s body was collected at an Iraqi border crossing with Iran, then carried on Monday through the streets of this southern city as mourners hailed his sacrifice in protecting a revered shrine in Syria. Diaa Mutashar al-Issawi was one of several Shiite fighters from Iraq who have trickled into Syria for months, providing a measure of support for Syrian regime forces battling mainly Sunni rebels.

The survey, by Public Policy Polling, shows Republican Sanford with a statistically insignificant 47%-46% advantage heading into Tuesday´s special election.

WASHINGTON — An ethical cloud is following Sen. Robert Menendez in Washington, even as he has leading roles in some of Congress´ most important policy debates. The New Jersey Democrat heads the Senate´s Foreign Affairs Committee at a time when tensions with Syria, Iran and North Korea are rising. At home, the Cuban-American lawmaker is at the center of the immigration overhaul fight that´s captivating Capitol Hill. All the while, a Senate Ethics Committee investigation into Menendez´s conduct persists, with many of the same questions about politics, money and influence that have dogged members of Congress

When it first became clear that the CIA’s Benghazi talking points had been altered, many of us viewed the White House as the prime suspect. After all, it served President Obama’s political purposes to claim, at the height of a political campaign in which he was taking credit for the fall of al Qaeda, that the death of a U.S. ambassador was down to spontaneous outrage over a video, rather than pre-planned terrorism. It turns out, however, that the State Department was the prime culprit. It was State that pushed back hard against the original talking points.

Republican lawmakers, who have spent months seeking to tie President Obama to last year’s deadly attack on the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, are increasingly focusing their probe on a new target: former secretary of state Hillary Rodham Clinton. The GOP-led investigation of the Sept. 11, 2012, assaults that killed U.S. Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens and three others now centers heavily on the State Department and whether officials there deliberately misled the public about the nature of the assault. Three State Department officials are scheduled to testify before a House committee on Wednesday about the Benghazi attack and its aftermath.

Former Gov. Mark Sanford completed the trail to political redemption Tuesday with a win over Democrat Elizabeth Colbert Busch to reclaim his old seat in Congress. Sanford defeated Colbert Busch 54 percent to 45 percent, according to full unofficial results. Turnout was heavier than expected, with about 32 percent of the district’s 455,702 registered voters casting ballots. Sanford, who has never lost an election, returns to the 1st District seat he held for three terms from 1995-2001. It’s a remarkable comeback for a man many pundits had written off after his highly publicized affair with an Argentine

From the start, the Obama administration’s account of what happened in Benghazi, Libya, on Sept. 11 last year didn’t quite square for Sharyl Attkisson. So the veteran CBS News reporter dug in, and kept digging. The result: Attkisson has been a persistent voice of news-media skepticism about the government’s story. On the air and online, Attkisson has questioned the administration’s timeline and its response. (Snip) While other media, particularly Fox News, have been similarly skeptical about the official narrative about Benghazi, Attkisson and CBS might put the story in a different light.

Nullification was last used by Southern states to try to eviscerate Civil Rights legislation, to try to prevent states from basically enforcing desegregation and frankly, I think history will look back on this round of nullification as kindly as it did on the last round. It is laughable also because it is a total bastardization of the Second Amendment. The Second Amendment is not an absolute right, not a God given right, always had conditions upon
