Did Republicans just admit that Katherine Harris stole 2000 election for Bush?

This is too much. The Republicans are basically admitting that Katherine Harris stole the election for George Bush.

Republicans are also questioning the credibility of Minnesota’s Secretary of State Mark Ritchie, the man tasked with overseeing the recount. A background document distributed by national Republicans portrays Ritchie as a far-left, Democratic version of Katherine Harris, the former Republican secretary of state whose actions helped decide the 2000 presidential election. The document accuses Ritchie, who was elected in 2006 with the assistance of a progressive-led group designed to elected Democratic election administrators, of having connections to the controversial voter registration group ACORN and the Communist Party of America.

As Al Franken gets closer to victory, the Republicans are unraveling. A recount is definitely on its way. Oh, what fun...

1. Yes. The statement only makes sense if they're admitting Katherine Harris is crooked. NT

3. Sounds like it to me: "...whose actions helped decide..."

4. whoa. That went right by me.

We all know 2000 was stolen so I missed the signifigance of the Repugs mentioning it.

5. No. That appears to be the reporter's interpretation.

absent a quote there's no way to be sure. Besides which, a state GOP press release is not necessarily the official GOP line. Chill out.

6. If you confront them with that, they'd deny it

However, it wouldn't be a very convincing denial.

The stuff they/ve been saying about ACORN is bullshit, and charges of Communist subversion are soooo McCarthy era. I guess they reverted to that when Muslim or terrorist didn't sell.
