(USA) 2/12 - "DIRTIEST POLITICIAN" HIRED FOR NEVADA CAUCUS? - By Bev Harris

BLACK BOX VOTING EXCLUSIVE

You may be hearing lately that the problem with Iowa caucuses (reported the wrong result, "lost" results) and Nevada (more votes than voters, took stupidly long to count a one-race ballot) were due to "amateurs." But have you heard that Nevada and Iowa hired professionals to run the the caucus?

You might just raise one eyebrow with that; you might just say, "Sheesh. Won't hire those guys again." But then comes conflict of interest. It turns out that at least three of the top guns listed below had been involved in the campaign of a single top candidate, and then went on to run the (botched, but beneficially so) caucuses.

"Two former Executive Directors of the Republican Party of Iowa, Gentry Collins and Jim Anderson, were hired by the Nevada GOP to oversee its 2012 caucus operations. The Nevada GOP contracted CAP Public Affairs, a firm led by Collins, Anderson, and Alan Philp, because Collins and Anderson had overseen the caucus process in Iowa," writes The Iowa Republican:

http://theiowarepublican.com/2012/ne...orse-for-iowa/

"The state Republican party is going pro. Chair Amy Tarkanian has tapped ... Alan Philp and Gentry Collins (ex-RNC guys) on board. Plus Cory Drumright..." Writes the Nevada News Bureau.

http://www.nevadanewsbureau.com/2011...vada-politics/

"Pro" indeed. The problem is, all three of the above-mentioned "pros" have been part of the campaign of one of the contestants in their caucus. But if both your eyebrows aren't raised yet, take a look at this:

"Why do I consider Alan Philp as one of the dirtiest politicians in Colorado? ... Just look at his documented track record," a horrified blogger who tags himself "what goes around" wrote in 2008.

http://www.coloradopols.com/diary/5731/

At issue: As TV legal pundit Jeralyn Merritt described them, "Willie Horton-style" deceptive ads, which created an uproar against Alan Philp's Trailhead Group, and very nearly landed him in jail.

http://www.5280.com/blogs/2006/09/24...against-ritter

"Trailhead may face criminal charges," warned reporter Jason Bane in the Colorado Independent.

http://coloradoindependent.com/804/t...iminal-charges

But while everyone agreed the operative's ads were thoroughly odious, he was not arrested. "Alan Philp not going to the pokey," reads the headline, unfortunately with no further details.

http://coloradolib.blogspot.com/2007...-to-pokey.html

And then came the finances of Philp's Trailhead organization. Money was pouring in from elites like the Coors Family at $50,000 a pop, and going out to other groups, who claim they never got it, according to documents published at Daily Kos:

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2006/0...-Sloppy-Chefs-

A string of problematic financial transactions are alleged for organizations while Philp was in charge.

http://coloradoindependent.com/639/u...ney-laundering

"We made a mistake based on an errant reading of the state statutes, and we're taking steps to remedy the problem," said Alan Philp, executive director of the Colorado Republican Party." While Philp was its director, the Colorado Republican Committee failed to file notices of large contributions, as required by law, despite receiving 65 such contributions between Oct. 10 and 23.

http://www.fishnette.net/creds/gopcash.htm

But according to Philp's bio on his own Web site, he was "Regional Political Director for a nine-state region for the Republican National Committee." And he didn't know the rules?

http://cappublicaffairs.com/

"Oy vey. Here comes Alan Philp again," writes Cara DeGette of the Colorado Springs Independent. "Oh, yeah, oh yeah. The down 'n dirty, hardball Republican 527 committee that two years ago tracked a bloody path of slash-'em politics all over the state? ...It was run by an operative named Alan Philp, who was flogged for broadcasts and campaign fliers" which were ... well... bald-faced lies.

http://www.csindy.com/colorado/whos-...nt?oid=1142486

"I am excited to announce the addition of these seasoned and well respected political operatives to the Nevada Republican Party," enthused Amy Tarkanian, Chairman of the Nevada Republican Party, in a press release.

http://www.nevadagop.org/nevada-repu...-to-2012-team/

"Cory Drumright will serve as the Nevada Republican Party Caucus Director overseeing the day to day operations for the 2012 Nevada Republican Presidential Caucus," she announced.

But here's the problem. Black Box Voting does not support or deride any candidate, but we do attack bad policy. And it's bad policy to have three guys in charge of a caucus, all of whom had recently worked for one of ...

Ron Paul Will Win Maine, Mitt Romney's Momentum Will Diminish


With the Maine caucus approaching on Saturday, candidates are finishing some last minute campaigning. Political analysts are predicting that Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas) will be the favored to win because of all the candidates, he has concentrated the most time and money on this state and has already gathered an army of supporters.

Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich haven't put in any time in Maine, so it will likely be a two-man contest between Mitt Romney and the Texas congressman. Paul has yet to win a 2012 GOP primary contest, but he will capture his first victory on Saturday because he has concentrated much more of his time and resources on the state than has Romney.

At first glance, it seemed that Romney would trump the other candidates in the GOP race, but with an inconsistent winning pattern and a suddenly surging Rick Santorum, it seems that there is no clear-cut front-runner in Maine. After Santorum won Tuesday’s contests in Missouri, Minnesota, and Colorado, Romney has lost momentum he gathered. If he loses another primary, even a small state like Maine, the GOP front-runner could face heavy causalities in the race. Critics will raise questions of skepticism on the durability of his GOP candidacy.

Romney's win in Florida propelled him into first by an overwhelming margin over the other candidates. But he was able to procure so many votes partly because he spent a whopping $15.9 million there to retaliate against Gingrich's negative ads and comments. Money plays an integral part in Romney's victories. He tends to lose when he stops using his resources to crush his contenders, as most recently evident in Santorum's victories. Because he has not created enough of a presence for himself in Maine, it is very likely that Saturday will be his fourth consecutive loss.

The problem with Paul is that he has remained relatively passive thus far. In Maine, he has drummed up a lot of support, especially from millennials and strong conservatives, but has appeared lackadaisical so far in the GOP race. What Paul has done in Maine is just what he needs to do on a regular basis. I have no doubts that he will secure Maine, but if he hopes to rival against Romney in future contests, then he must be more proactive.

Ultimately, Maine is a non-binding state that rewards no delegates, but helps drive voter turnout and support. His victory will not have as much of an impact on him, as it will for Romney's track record.

Romney's most important asset in the race could be his political action committee, Restore Our Future. Through individual contributions and donations, it has raised nearly $31 million so far. But even with so much money invested in his campaign, Romney will not be able to obtain Maine. The voters have already drawn their allegiances, and they want Paul.

Ron Paul Victory in Maine!

“We are confident we will control the Maine delegation for the convention in August”

FALMOUTH, Maine – 2012 Republican Presidential candidate Ron Paul has scored a strong finish in the Maine presidential caucuses. Paul gained over 36 percent of the vote in the ‘Pine Tree’ state, being barely nudged out by eventual winner Gov. Mitt Romney who pulled in a little over 38 percent.

Paul performed well throughout the state, although his campaign’s stronghold of Washington County did not report today for inexplicable reasons. Congressman Paul was barely bested by Gov. Romney by about 194 votes, a margin the campaign is confident it will make up with the 200 plus votes expected to come out of Washington County’s caucus.

“Today’s results show once again that Congressman Paul’s campaign for liberty and a return to Constitutional principles is strong and growing,” said Ron Paul 2012 National Campaign Chairman Jesse Benton. “We are confident that we will control the Maine delegation for the convention in August. Our campaign is so thankful to all of our supporters in Maine, and all over the nation, and we want them to know that we plan to take this message all the way to the White House.”

The news reports have confirmed that Romney had the most votes. It doesn't matter whether you like it or believe it or not. That is what the results are going to be.

Might as well accept the fact that it is the way it is since you can't change the outcome.

It was premature, to avoid MSM/GOP having to announce a Ron Paul Win. It will be changed soon.

Mitt Romney steals Iowa in January, Maine in February


On the night of January 3, Iowa state Republican officials – partisans of the ‘establishment’ Republican Party - announced that Mitt Romney had won the Iowa caucuses by a mere 8 votes. But a win is a win, and the establishment officials who organized the capital area (Des Moines and West Des Moines) for Romney were relieved, especially since Romney was losing counties he won all over the state the last time he ran.

But then, a few weeks later, a new vote total was announced: On Jan. 20, some uncounted votes were “discovered,” and Rick Santorum was declared the winner by 34 votes. Panicked that the establishment favorite would be seen as a loser, Iowa GOP Chair Matt Strawn said no winner could be certified because the votes of eight additional precincts were “missing.” (Strawn resigned as party head Jan. 31).

Romney would go on to win New Hampshire and Florida, but face embarrassing defeats in South Carolina, Colorado,, Minnesota, and Missouri. The last thing Romney needed was yet another defeat in Maine.

And so, Maine State Republican Chairman Charlie Webster announced an hour ago that Mitt Romney won the Maine caucuses with 2,190 votes, and that Ron Paul came in second with 1,996 (39% - 36%). The difference between the two candidates – a mere 194 votes – offers a much-needed, but still razor-thin win by Romney.

But wait....are the caucuses over?

The media have simply parroted Webster’s announcement that Romney has won by 194 votes. But the reality is that 17% of the precincts in Maine have not yet voted - and Webster is insisting he will invalidate them.

Those precincts include voters from the University of Maine at Machias, in the heart of Washington County. Ron Paul has, so far, won the plurality of votes cast among college students in every state in which a primary or caucus has been held.

Maine's caucuses do not all happen at the same time, as each Town decides how to conduct their own caucuses. In Maine, caucuses began as early as February 4 and continued throughout the week. But the results announced this past hour only account for just 83 percent of all of the precincts in the state. Caucuses in Washington County, which were originally scheduled today, were postponed until next weekend because a major snowstorm hit today.

The official weather forecast:

Moderate to heavy snow and strong winds will create very hazardous traveling conditions. Frequent blowing and drifting snow will cause near whiteout conditions at times.

Schools and other meeting facilities were closed.

Is it possible, in a County of almost 33,000 residents and a university campus, that Romney's “victory” margin of only 194 votes might disappear?

Webster doesn’t want to take any chances. In an effort to preserve a Romney victory at all costs, Webster declared that any caucus results that come in after tonight would not, under any circumstances, be counted.

A century and a half ago, there was a common political cliche that said, “As Maine goes, so goes the nation!.” This was not necessarily because Maine was a bellweather state, but because Maine voters would cast their votes in September, rather than on the usual national November Election Day. Yankee pragmatism suggested that the threat of severe winter weather in November should naturally mean that Mainers be given the chance to cast their votes earlier in the season, when they weren’t likely to be battling two feet of snow and freezing rain.

And so, in another pragmatic decision that was supported by a century-old, long-honored Maine tradition, Washington County officials delayed the caucuses because of severe February winter weather. But Webster won't count them.

Apparently, Webster is more interested in disenfranchising voters and securing a Romney win at all costs...making Maine the second state stolen by Mitt Romney in the Republican race for the nomination.

Do you have any examples of what has been achieved by not voting?

If not voting changed anything, they would make it illegal.

I'd be interested to know how you intend to accomplish anything without changing legislation, or controlling the government.

Whether RP wins or not is irrelevant, he is just one man. Critical mass is needed, and the more he continues his campaign the more people begin to awaken.

His policies would be good for Whites.

Politics is not the only solution, but is a vital part of the solution.

Jewish power comes from control of key positions in government, taxation and legislation, which they gained by...putting politicians into office.

The only people who benefit if Whites don't vote, is Jews.

What is your proposed alternative to political power, now, today in real life, that people can do that would have the same power over government, legislation and taxation?

Carlin described the problem, then urged people to do nothing about it. So who benefitted from his shows? Jews.

What a surprise.
