If Foodle -- as shown in his excellent diary on this subject -- had a problem with Tad Devine's editorial in last Sunday's New York Times, then Norman Ornstein and Thomas Mann are really going to drive him up a wall with this one in today's Times. They certainly send me there, anyway. Each defense Mann and Ornstein offer for the superdelegate system is -- to my ears, anyway -- more perfectly illegitimate than the last.

Like a lot of you, I've been seriously bummed by the MSM's perfect silence on the crucial subject of FISA and wiretap immunity. I've been waiting anxiously for KO to turn his attention to it, but like so many other media types, he -- yeah, even he -- seems hypnotized by the exigencies of the campaign.

I would have preferred to send this letter to him directly, but I can't find a way on the Internet to contact him, via e-mail or any other way, and I don't want to spend any more time looking. If any of you have an in with him, please pass my letter along to him.

Everyone admits to being worried about these wretched machines and what effect they'll have on this election, but I'm worried SICK. An unreliable election -- even just one, or one that's unreliable in any detail, however slight -- is not a detail; it's the ball game. It knocks EVERYTHING into a cocked hat. The campaign, the polls, even GOTV -- none of it matters if the votes are lost, stolen, or tampered with. And everything I read and hear about these machines says they're practically an invitation for that sort of interference. Read More
