If Wishes Were Horses, Fox News Would Ride

Or he didn't know that somebody was going to step in to stop the thing he thought was going to happen?
So, is it true? Did Anonymous really save the election from Republican operatives embedded in Diebold?

Whatever it was, it's something the Democrats wouldn't have considered challenging in the spirit of bipartisanship.

Damn we pity Goldy's grandkids (for a zillion reasons) as he no doubt will be reliving this election till he strokes out.....

I just never get tired of Rove's humiliation. Or reliving election night. It was such a relief. It still is.

Rove didn't have a clue. His bit was more like Don Ameche's rant at the end of "Trading Places" -- "Get those people back in here! Turn those machines back on! Turn those machines back on!"

Republicans are no more competent at fixing elections than they are at winning wars. Or foreign policy in general. Or the economy.
But they think they are.

I know there's absolutely no evidence that Anonymous's story might be true.
But oh God, oh God, oh God, how I hope it all happened exactly as Anonymous described it!

You're not paranoid, you're suspicious. the definition of paranoid is, the feeling that people don't like you, when in fact they don't, when the polite thing to do is to shut up about it.

In 2004 the state of Ohio configured it's election process so that in case of a system failure the votes would be sent to a mirror site run by SmarTech in Chattanooga Tennessee for backup. Turns out, there were "system failures" caused by deliberate bottlenecking of data, shortly before midnight on election night and the tabulations were routed to the SmarTech system and when they came back the results were flipped for Bush. SmarTech ran a middle site that had the ability to alter the data.
Similar "system failures" happened again this election at the same time as in 2004 (probably about the time the vote tabulations start turning in favor of Obama). Anonymous claims the transmission of data to the Tennnesse server was blocked so the vote totals could not be altered, instead there was only a delay in what-was-to-become the accurate tabulations.
Karl Rove's behavior late on election night certainly fits with Anonymous's claim. He seemed irrationally and stubbornly confident that the busy districts that were bottlenecking were going to come out in favor of Romney, despite the polling data. I must say, although I didn't understand his stubborn refusal to face facts at the time, I was nonetheless pleased at seeing him squirm.

Goldy, what is your source for the assertion you made in the Morning News that Crapo is a Bishop?

@12 - Hey maroon, why don't you stamp your feet since no one is answering your question (because no one the FUCK CARES about it) that you're posting all over Slog to no avail.
