There have been reports accusing the Republican National Convention and its sister organizations of using robo-calls to encourage Barack Obama supporters in Florida to vote. At first it sounds like a nice gesture, encouraging the democratic process to happen. However, at the end of the call, listeners hear a friendly, "remember to vote this Wednesday."
......
Wednesday? The vote is TUESDAY! This despicable decision of depressing democratic demonstration is downright dirty dancing. And not the good kind of dirty dancing where everyone gets a little hot and sweaty, but doesn't care because of how awesome the moment is... This is the bad kind where people may be given the presidency instead of elected to it.
If John McCain cares at all about his image as a maverick and someone who will stand up to party leaders for freedom and democracy, he should denounce these actions and make what is happening publicly known. To his credit, sometimes campaigns get too big for the candidates to know what is going on everywhere all the time. But this will come back to hurt McCain, even if he doesn't win...
